This is a very touching birthday blessing song that depicts the change from simple childhood birthdays to celebrating birthdays with children, while expressing a deep wish for family faith and love.
The country genre really tells this story well. This song makes you feel nostalgic and reflective, and at the same time, hopeful.
I was filled with tears when I was writing and putting this music video together. So many memories both sweet and sour came to my mind. This is me, my true story.
Birthday Wishes
By Weiping
Verse 1:
When I was young, birthdays came and went,
No parties, no wishes, no presents sent.
A bowl of noodles, simple and sweet,
Longevity symbolized in each bite we’d eat.
Chorus:
In a land of freedom, I found my way,
Celebrating birthdays in a brand-new way.
Gifts and parties, joy all around,
But in my heart, simple wishes are found.
Verse 2:
As my children grew, I followed the norm,
Birthday parties and wishes, gifts to adorn.
Seeing their smiles, my heart would soar,
As if I’d made up for my birthdays before.
Chorus:
In a land of freedom, I found my way,
Celebrating birthdays in a brand-new way.
Gifts and parties, joy all around,
But in my heart, simple wishes are found.
Bridge:
Now they celebrate me, with gifts and more,
River cruises, Vegas trips, things I adore.
Yet my favorite gift, still a bowl of noodles,
A wish for their souls, for faith that renews.
Verse 3:
My birthday wish, so crucial, so clear,
For my children to know Jesus is near.
To accept Him as Savior, to be assured,
In eternity, as a family secured.
Chorus:
In a land of freedom, I found my way,
Celebrating birthdays in a brand-new way.
Gifts and parties, joy all around,
But in my heart, simple wishes are found.
Outro:
So on my birthday, I bow and pray,
For my family’s faith to never sway.
Simple wishes, yet so profound,
In His love, forever we’re bound.
In His love, forever we’re bound.
