Such a Beautiful Child Reprise

 

This is the next song in the possession album - it's a reprise of the song from February 12, 2021. The me-character tries to convince the baby part of herself, who's hanging out with the bears, to come back to her and reintegrate with the rest of her soul.

The lyrics are:

It bears repeating, this song that I'm singing
Such a beautiful child, such a beautiful child
You had been so scared, so you ran to those bears
Such a beautiful child, such a beautiful child

It's time to come back home, little baby me, to yourself, who is grown
Yes, you can come back again, yes you can come back again
The thing that scared you away is over now so come back and stay
Yes, you can come back again; yes, you can come back again

You can come back to me, scared little baby
Such a beautiful child, such a beautiful child
You might be happier, maybe, just maybe
Such a beautiful child, such a beautiful child

It's time to come back home, little baby me, to yourself, who is grown
Yes, you can come back again, yes you can come back again
The thing that scared you away is over now so come back and stay
Yes, you can come back again; yes, you can come back again

And she said...what's better than teddy bears??

She don't want to leave because
Those bears are so cute and fuzzy
And they are her playmates
She said, of the bears, “They're great.”
What do we do now? We do not know how
To get her to come and I say, “Oh, wow”
That baby's stubborn as a mule
She wants to stay with 'em cuz they're cool

What's better than teddy bears?
