When We Make It Home - Happy Birthday Song

We meet where years leave dust upon the window ledge A turning world, a held breath at the quiet edge Count the small departures, count the ones who stay Each face a page the weather writes and takes away May every heart find shelter in another's care May every hand make room for someone at the stair May wonder keep its little flame through changing days And may the world grow kinder in a thousand ways The hour opens, paper-thin and wide We watch ourselves watching the turning tide A life is not a line we hold alone The room grows larger when we make it home May every heart find shelter in another's care May every hand make room for someone at the stair May wonder keep its little flame through changing days And may the world grow kinder in a thousand ways Somewhere, morning gathers on a child's new eyes Somewhere, old companions share the weather passing by We are the ones who look back, then begin A door swings outward; let the whole world in Happy Birthday, carry every voice Happy Birthday, make the wide world rejoice Happy Birthday, for the near and far Happy Birthday, wherever people are The hour opens, paper-thin and wide We watch ourselves watching the turning tide A life is not a line we hold alone The room grows larger when we make it home Happy birthday.
