lyrics

There is a time. There is a day.
There is a rhythm to obey.
You find your way, however young
You didn’t know it would arrive
But you are ready and alive
Top of the mornin’ on the tip of your tongue

Now the day’s upon us.
Now the time is near.
This is your deliverance:
You are here.

It’s your birthday
You are born, born, born
It's your birthday
Time to blow your horn
Sendin’ out a shout heard ’round the world
That it’s a girl

Dig your birthday!
And surprise, surprise!
Happy birthday!
Here’s your first sunrise.
Something wondrous happens every day
As this old universe learns.
And many happy returns
Of your birthday.

So greet your world, and get three cheers
And meet your hopes, defeat your fears
Just take it in, fill up each lung.
(I’ll teach you.)
I’ll teach you reachin’ for the stars
Get you the hang of monkeybars
Until the furthest fangled flung one is swung

Now the day’s upon us
Now the time is near
Hallelujah chorus
You are here

Let the mountains sound
Let the heavens sing
Glory be to life
For this newborn thing

Let the oceans splash
Let the doorbells ring
Glory be to life
For this newborn thing
For this newborn thing
(Ah___)

It’s your birthday
You were born, born, born
It's your birthday
Time to blow your horn
Sendin’ out a shout heard ’round the world
That it’s a girl

Dig your birthday
And surprise, surprise!
Happy birthday
Here’s your next sunrise
Something wondrous happens every year
As this old universe learns
And many happy returns
Of your birthday.
And this old universe earns
With many happy returns
Of your birthday.
