Lyrics Beautiful Child - 2013 Remastered Version - Archie Roach

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 to blame
And they put you through hell
Then 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
We're never no more body that day
Some said you smile

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

You've been locked up before
But you've always came back
With your hands held high
And so be prepped to be glad

But the last time they came
How could i have known?
When they took you away
That you never come home

Yet they pushed you around
But his 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 on someday

Uhh, beautiful, beautiful child
Now you're free
Free from this heart aching pain and misery
When they found your body that day
Some said you smart

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