paroles de chanson Beautiful Child - 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 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
