Beautiful Children
Tamil Nadu,
India
You make me laugh you make me sing
You make me want to give you everything
In life that I never had
You say the sky is all vanilla
And you swear there's a gorilla
Living in the bubbles of your bath
But now that you're here what mattered has shattered
I'm shattered for good
Just remember my beautiful child
We're just here for a little while
So live like your dying and laugh till you cry
And love yourself like I do my beautiful child
You say there are monkeys in the trees
You want to feed them some of your frozen peas
'Cause monkeys get hungry too
Can't wait to see when you turn three
The infinite possibilities popping
Like popcorn inside of you
But nothing before or after could ever
Bring laughter like yours
You will crash you will burn
When you do you will learn
Just like me in my youth
Search the trash for the truth
When the streets make you think
There's no God down this deep
If it won't cure you
It will surely make you smile
Forgive yourself if you have to
Choose yourself cause I do
Never loose yourself cause I love you my beautiful child
