Just Another Birthday by Casting Crowns

Sixteen finds me
Blowing out candles and (1)____________ wishes
And all (2)____________ me
Is everyone but the one I'm (3)______________ for
And he (4)________ me flowers
And gift-wrapped excuses
From a (5)__________ whose daughter
Wants to see him again
And I know, I know
It's just another birthday
But I (6)__________ I thought
This would be the one
When he would call me, see me
Hold me and free me
But it's (7)________ (8)______________ birthday
And I'll be fine
I'll be fine

Nineteen finds me
And I'm wild-eyed and wide open
I gave (9)____________ (10)________ to love
But (11)________________ promises fade like a mist
I'm screaming at the (12)________________ 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 (13)__________ be the one

All alone with a (16)__________ (17)____________ me
And I don't know what to do
Jesus, can You (18)________ me
Come and (19)________ my brokennes
Put the pieces back together
And be a Father to the fatherless

A Father to the fatherless

Twenty-one finds me
Blowing out (20)______________ and making wishes
And all around me

My barefoot princess twirls and sings
It's so amazing
Looking back at all God's (21)______________ us through
You are my happy birthday
And you were (22)________ to break the chains

It's not (23)________ 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
