20 Candles
I've wondered about this day, how naked this earth would feel
missing all the beauty that your life came to reveal..
i've wondered about this day; and our days apart just seem to grow
what your mother must have felt, 20 years ago...
I've wondered about this day, and how I denied it'd ever come
How many people here are missing you..so much it makes me numb
today is your birthday, there should be 20 candles on a cake..
I've wondered about this day; your absence is keeping me awake..
I've wondered about this day, do we celebrate or mourn?
this day is like a rose. and every rose has it's thorn..
I've wondered about this day, a day that's just for you
Today is your birthday, and today I honor you.
