La Mia Ragazza

My Girl
My girl is a flower that I see blooming
on the hospital sheets
on her white dress her tired face
cries dew drops
My girl is Africa, she's warm and clear
my girl is the whole world
...and she holds her baby in her arms
he opens his eyes, he's tiny...
My girl is earth, she's flesh and blood
from her breast grows the wheat
my girl is soul, spirit, and prayer
from her heart grows love
she's a ray of sunshine that lights up the room
my girl is mine forever
...and she holds my baby in her arms
closes his eyes, he's tiny
and she holds my baby in her arms
he opens his beak, he's a little bird...
Nurses, midwives, pediatricians, and doctors
then the wise men and the shepherds
together they are the center of the whole planet
in the sky the comet star
...and she holds her baby in her arms
he opens his eyes, he's tiny
and she holds my baby in her arms
he flaps his wings, he's a little bird...
It all fits in one hand
he spreads his wings, he's already far away...
