When I first heard this song, I immediately thought of the novel by the same title by Robert A. Heinlein. After seeing the lyrics written down, the most striking thing is the rather obvious invocation of a Christian sensibility in the figure of the Christ-like baby. The novel by Heinlein-by the way-is brilliant, although perhaps naive.
