Each year birthday comes by like a cycle
When your cake has an extra candle
It’s the day that marks you as a different person
The day when another you has begun.

Take a look at these years gone past
Do you realize how time flies very fast?
Faster than the speed of light
Perhaps too fast for you to see if you’re even living right.

You may have experienced circumstances and occasions
That deafened your ears like the roar of cannons
The world just seemed to fall apart on you
As if you were stuck in a void with no one but you.

But that’s just an illusion
Blocking your true vision
Look how bravely you stand today
Much wiser than yesterday

You may have passed by lost dreams and unchangeable failures
They’re always there, not just for you, but for all others
These painful memories might fill you with fears that you can’t unsay
But with close friends cheering you by those doubts soon fly away

Believe in yourself and the learned person you have become
Don’t stop midway in the long path you have chosen to come

You’re only (input age) once! Live it up!
