Oh my beautiful child
My beautiful child
The brightest of stars
Couldn't match us with smile
But you grew up too soon
From beyond your young years
And all that remains
Is your memory and tears
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
Oh 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'd smiled
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 head held high
And so proud to be black
But the last time they came
How could I have known
When they took you away
That you'll never come home
Yeah they push you around
'Cause your skin wasn't white
And although you were gentle
You learnt 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'd smiled
And I wish I was with you right now
My beautiful child
Oh I wish I was with you right now
My beautiful child
