The Baby Speaks (VII)

Years later in a room in the hospital
Blue clothes, curtains close, and the gloves are on
Hands reach in and then all the worry’s gone;
The baby comes out clean (repeat x4)
A huge scene — the door to our suite is broken down:
The family and people I’ve never seen before
A close ring — people lean in to see me scream and
Somebody yells, «Oh good, it looks like he’s alive;
My, isn’t our God so good?»
And then the whole room cries:
«A-men» (repeat)
