lyrics

When you were small I carried you to roses in the yard,
Hoping you would turn to them in times when life gets hard.
Softened by a smile shown bright upon your face,
All the sorrows of the world temporarily erased.

Today is your birthday and I wanted you to know,
Although I have no gifts for you, all wrapped up in bows,
I will always be here, forever your friend,
Babe, if you need anything, on me you can depend.

I know at times the world can feel selfish, dark and cold
But I hope that you look back on it, someday when you’re old,
And smile on a truth, so long been revealed,
Love is the most powerful sword that you can wield.

Today it is your birthday, so I’ll tell you a secret,
There is no wrong way to live, so unleash your spirit,
If anybody laughs at you, it’s ‘cause they are afraid,
Just continue being you, let love lead the way.

May you always see a light shining up ahead,
Leading you out of the woods in times when you are sad,
And have the courage to stand up for those that have been wronged,
If you ever need reminding,
You can come back to this song…

Today it is your birthday and I wanted you to know,
That love is not conditional, forever does it grow.
Remember to stay true to who you want to be,
You will always have our hearts, you are family.
Oh, Happy birthday, baby.
