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
|
|
