Your Birthday
Once again the special day of your life is here
When mother welcomed her son to the world with cheer
The day you were born filled your home with gladness
Your mother's smile when cuddling you, a sweet caress
Then a baby boy, you're mindless of life's challenges
Look at that old photograph, you're full of sweet images
That mom can't resist to put you on her warm embrace
A picture perfect of giving each other's loving promise
The little boy has grown up into a young man
Together, a lot of question on your mind starts to run
Hold it back my dear one, don’t get too far
Life's a journey to travel, yours has just began
Just as anybody, you have passed trough tests
In every trials encountered, you took the courage to live
There were times you fell down and have gone astray
You stood again and color the world that was once gray
Now, looking back from where you have started
When life was given to you and the air to breathe
We thank the One above for the gift of you to us
Who continue to touch our lives, a lifetime to last
On your very day I say thank you for the memories
Glad I have enough for the rest of my life to reminisce
Happy birthday I sing to you from here home
The song is silent but hear my heartbeat for you alone
