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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
 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
