A Chinese mother's prayer to the autumn moon and the daughter she left behind.
Lucky Girl
Forgive me, autumn moon
I meant to be strong
I stand on ancestral ground
But I am just one voice
Let her hear me half the world around
When I left her long ago
I didn't know my heart
I didn't know her little soul
Would blossom here in me
And grow as wide and blue as the sea
Oh, lucky girl
Oh, lucky girl
My lucky girl
Somewhere in the world
My red silk little girl
Laughs and doesn't know the shame
A mother sometimes bears
To save her little girl from life's despair
Oh, lucky girl
Oh, lucky girl, lucky girl
