Beautiful Child

Oh, my beautiful child My beautiful child The brightest of stars Couldn't match us with smiles But he grew up too soon From beyond your young years Now all that reminds Is your memory indeed You were always divine And they put you through hell And they locked you away In a dark lonely cell But you weren't really bad Just a little bit wild Now they'll hound you no more Oh, my beautiful child Beautiful, beautiful child Now you are free Free from this heart aching pain and misery When they found your body that day Some said you smiled And I wish I was with you right now My beautiful child You've been locked up before But you always came back With your head held high And so prepped to be glad But the last time they came How could I have known When they took you away That you'd never come home Yet they pushed you around 'Cause your skin wasn't white And although you were gentle You learn't how to fight And you fought all your life No, you didn't fail But you deserve better Than to die in some jail Ooh Beautiful, beautiful child Now you are free Free from this heart aching pain and misery When they found your body that day Some said you smiled And I wish I was with you right now My beautiful child And I wish I was with you right now My beautiful child
