He was just a babya newborn child
so when he opened his eyes
he started to cry
with his tiny little tongue
coming out of his mouth
But your mother can’t stand your cry
And your brother wants you to die
And you father says
“he doesn’t look like me
And your sister says
“he’s so ugly”
So they gathered round your cradle
on your first day out
And they all laughed in your face
on your first day out
And they hid you from the neighbours
on your first day out
And they gave you no name
they gave you no name
He was just a baby
an innocent child
who could have grown up
to be someone
someone clever and bright
But your mother can’t stand your cry
And your brother wants you to die
And you father says
“he doesn’t look like me
And your sister says
“he’s so ugly”
So they took you out of your cradle
On your first day out
And they dug a hole in the garden
on your first day out
And they put a pillow on your face
on your first day out
And they murdered you
they murdered you
Oh mother, oh sister, oh brother, oh father
