Casting Crowns - Just Another Birthday Lyrics

Artist: Casting Crowns

Album: Come To The Well

Genre: Christian

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

    It is amazing how much a fathers love has on a child. It effects them in all they do. I had an amazing father and am so grateful, but I have seen first hand how a selfish man can affect the live of his little girl. I have raise my neice since she a few months old she is 23 years old I am her mother she has struggled in so many areas of her life because her father was absent. She had me listen to this song and after it was over we hugged and she said God was breaking the chains so her princess didn't have to struggle. The words are oh so true. Men stand up and be what God as called you to be

    My precious Brittany Whitney; The day you were born...God changed the tide of my life from pain to purpose, from anguish to hope... He used you to avert my gaze upward and seek Him for my life's definition. And so even though today is my birthday... I remember the birthdays that count on into eternity... Yours, the day I accepted Jesus and the day He brought this lost sheep back into His arms... Love you girl! You the best!

    I never got a call from my real dad for my birthday, but I always knew that he loved me. I never understood why he never called. I understood much later but then he was gone. I'll see him in heaven some day.
