it's your birthday
you didn't even get to sleep in
happy birthday
you've got to go to work again

it's been a rough year
some days you couldn't get out of bed
you could use some good cheer
and a ray of hope instead

birthday cake and candles
don't make the world go round
when you're given too much to handle
your world tumbles to the ground

it's your birthday
time to pick yourself up again
happy birthday
when you could really use a friend

when all you really wanted
was someone to hold you dear
i wish you all good things undaunted
on each and every day this year
