The Lyrics
As I woke up last night to the thought of having a birthday
I was forced to account for what I had done with a year
And I speculated on what was left of my future

And the strongest of chains, the fire can still melt away

| About the Song
Big birthdays make you look back and ask yourself “have I done all that I could?” “Am I what God wanted me to be?”
