Happy birthday to me

[Intro] Turning a page, the calendar sighs in glitter and grin I’m marking my next turn with a wink and a grin [Verse 1] Been misfit-marching through the years, but here I am, still here A goofy crown of self-love, and a toast to every fear I shed I count the quirks like lucky stars, they guide me, not derail A heart that learns to laugh at blunders, and sing when mornings pale [Pre-Chorus] I’ve grown a little taller in the space between doubt and cheer Gratitude in pockets, friends and family near [Chorus] Here I stand, a brighter me, with mischief in my eyes Grateful for the little wins and warm goodbyes I lift my glass to the now, to the truth I hold tight I’m growing, glowing, goofy—and I’m alright [Verse 2] I’ve collected tiny victories like stamps in a happy book Tiny scars are souvenir maps of all the pages I’ve took Defiant in a friendly way, I’m stepping into light With laughter as my lantern, I’m turning wrongs into right [Pre-Chorus] Thankful for the elders’ wisdom and the chorus of friends For the late-night talks that stitched me back again [Chorus] Here I stand, a brighter me, with mischief in my eyes Grateful for the little wins and warm goodbyes I lift my glass to the now, to the truth I hold tight I’m growing, glowing, goofy—and I’m alright [Bridge] If yesterday’s gears creaked loud, today they hum with grace I’ll keep the spark, the silly spark, in every single space [Chorus] Here I stand, a brighter me, with mischief in my eyes Grateful for the little wins and warm goodbyes I lift my glass to the now, to the truth I hold tight I’m growing, glowing, goofy—and I’m alright [Outro] So raise a cheer for me, the one who’s learning how to shine With grateful heart and hopeful grin, I’m stepping into mine
