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’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

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

[Verse 1]
The battle rages on
As storm and tempest roar
We cannot win this fight
Inside our rebel hearts

[Pre-chorus]
We’re laying down our weapons now

[Chorus]
We raise our white flag
We surrender all to You
All for You
We raise our white flag
The war is over
Love has come
Your love has won

[Verse 2]
Here on this Holy Ground
You made a way for peace
Laying Your body down
You took our rightful place

[Pre-chorus]
This freedom song is marching on

[Chorus]
We raise our white flag
We surrender all to You
All for You
We raise our white flag
The war is over
Love has come
Your love has won

[Bridge x8]
We lift the Cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

[Chorus x2]
We raise our white flag
We surrender all to You
All for You
We raise our white flag
The war is over
Love has come
Your love has won

[Bridge x4]
We lift the Cross
Lift it high
Lift it high
