Not since Lauryn Hill penned [_Zion_](http://exclusiveaccess.net/videos/lauryn-hill-zion/)
for her son, has a woman written about her child and put it out for her the world
to share in their joy. With the resent birth of Egypt, Alicia Keys is still glowing
from the joys of motherhood, and what better way to express her love for her new
born than in song? The multiple Grammy winner has linked with rapper Eve for the
new track ‘Speechless.’ A total 180 from the last time Alicia and Eve hooked up 
from [_Gangsta Lovin_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4idu2AA6lo). Speechless, 
which is produced by her hubby Swizz Beatz as part of his free Music Mondays offerings,
samples Kanye West’s ‘Devil in a New Dress.’

Keys took to her Twitter page today to introduce the track. “Speechless is a little
freestyle treat 4 the holidays,” she wrote. “It’s not a new album, not a single 
it’s something special 4 U! My gift to you … a little song about my lil guy 😉 love
to you….let’s make 2011 incredible!!!”

Despite the title, the singer had no problem putting her feelings into song. After
a small introduction, describing her love for her son, Egypt Daoud Dean, Keys bundled
her emotions in a soft melody. “When I wake up in the morning babe/ Can’t believe
my eyes/ See this little part of destiny ’cause you’re now in my life,” she sings.“
There ain’t no better prize that can compare to you/ Ain’t no words to describe 
the way that I’m feeling when I look at you/ I’m just speechless baby, don’t know
what to say/ I’m just speechless.”
