Beautiful child, the one I never laid eyes on
They just swept you away back in those good old days
I don’t know if you look like me
In a women’s ward on the outskirts of town
Is where they shamed me
I bid you farewell when they severed the braid
Grief mixed up with relief
My heart has been broken since you were announced
And I learned that this swift goodbye was coming.
I wasn’t permitted to comfort your first cries
Caught up in the moment I forget the colour of your eyes
Innocent child of my own design
Now all your dreams are free
