Supposedly - The song was a melancholy tribute to George's Brazilian friend and lover Anselmo Feleppa. The two had met when George was performing in Rio de Janeiro in 1991, and Feleppa died two years later from an AIDS-related brain haemorrhage. George had been unable to write for the next 18 months as a consequence of his grief, but then penned the words to Jesus To A Child in little more than an hour, indicating that the time was right to move on with his life.
