Casting Crowns - Just Another Birthday Lyrics

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 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'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

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
