Should children be spoiled silly? The idea that 'love conquers all' is everywhere on the rest of the album "When We Were Young". It seems to have been building up into the parental overindulgence prescribed here. The last line offers an explanation: why not give your kids free reign just as God gave free reign to His first two children in Eden?
However, any doubt over the right course of action is put to rest by the scary, crashing piano in the song's latter half. The singer may very well be in for a rude awakening.
Perhaps this song is the ideal of unconditional love, but as imagined by a child. It's both deeply heartfelt and, unfortunately, deeply immature.
