Amina

You've got a curious mind, always asking how and why

A bright and brilliant spark shining right there in your eye

You have a caring heart and a funny way with words

Making up the sweetest songs that I have ever heard

I love it when we're hanging out, laughing at it all

Singing out our favorite tunes, echoing down the hall

Oh, Amina, you are clothed in dignity and strength

With your beautifully driven heart, you'll go to any length

I know you will succeed in whatever you pursue

A life that's filled with joy is waiting there for you

Keep shining out your brilliant light wherever you might go

Amina, I just want to make sure that you know

I take a step back and I picture that one night

Out on the Boston cruise, beneath the evening light

You didn't hesitate, you stepped right to the floor

Dancing in front of everyone, leaving them wanting more

You moved with so much confidence, so fearless and so free

Showing the strong young woman you were always meant to be

Oh, Amina, you are clothed in dignity and strength

With your beautifully driven heart, you'll go to any length

I know you will succeed in whatever you pursue

A life that's filled with joy is waiting there for you

Keep shining out your brilliant light wherever you might go

Amina, I just want to make sure that you know

Every song we sing together, every joke we share

Reminds me of the magic that you carry everywhere

This life is yours for taking, the world is at your feet

Just keep on moving forward to your own amazing beat

'Cause Amina, you are clothed in dignity and strength

With your beautifully driven heart, you'll go to any length

I know you will succeed in whatever you pursue

A life that's filled with joy is waiting there for you

Keep shining out your brilliant light wherever you might go

Amina, I just want to make sure that you know

You are so incredibly loved, and I am proud to watch you grow
