Archie Roach Beautiful Child Lyrics

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 houndhell
And they locked you away
In a dark lonely cell
But you weren't really bad (bade)
Just a little bit wild
Now they'll hound you no more
Oh my beautiful child

Dun dun din dun dun ohhhohhhohh

Beautiful beautiful child
Now you are free
Free from this heart aching pain and mesuree (mes-ooh-rhee)
We're never no more body that day Some said you smile
And iI wish iI was with you right now
My beautiful child
You've been locked up before
But you've always came back
You learn't how to fight
And you fought all your life
No you didn't fail
But you deserve better
Than to die on someday

Ooh
Beautiful beautiful child
Now you oh free
Free from this heart aching pain and mes-oooh-rheeeee
We're never no more body that day
Some said you smarrr

And iI wish iI was with you right now
My beautiful child
And iI wish iI was with you right now
My beautiful child
