Just Another Birthday |
Sixteen finds me Blowing out candles and making wishes |
And all around me Is everyone but the one I’m wishing for |
And he sent me flowers |
And gift-wrapped excuses |
From a daddy whose daughter |
Wants to see him again |
And I know, I know |
It’s just another birthday |
But I guess I thought |
This would be the one |
When he would call me, see me Hold me and free me But it’s just another birthday |
And I’ll be fine |
I’ll be fine |
Nineteen finds me And I’m wild-eyed and wide open |
I gave myself away to love |
But backseat promises fade like a mist |
I’m screaming at the midnight air |
Everyone hears me but I don’t care |
My heart’s clenched just like a fist |
'Cause, people, I didn’t ask for any of this |
And I’m not fine |
I’m not fine |
In the company of strangers |
In a cold and sterile room |
All alone with a child inside me And I don’t know what to do Jesus, can You hear me Come and heal my brokenness |
Put the pieces back together |
And be a Father to the fatherless |
Twenty-one finds me Blowing out candles and making wishes |
And all around me My barefoot princess twirls and sings |
It’s so amazing |
Looking back at all God’s brought us through |
You are my happy birthday |
And you were born to break the chains |
Now I know, I know |
It’s not just another birthday |
'Cause I’m here, she’s here |
And look how far we’ve come |
Since you’ve called me, saw me Held me and freed me Thank you, Lord, for another birthday |
And we’ll be fine |
We’ll be fine |
