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 hound\hell

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
