[Spoken Intro | a warm, gentle male voice speaking calmly and sincerely — completely a cappella, NO music, NO instruments, NO singing, just the spoken voice in the quiet]
This song is dedicated to a true Franconian diamond — a diamond that shines so brightly, warmly, and colorfully that it brings light even to dark places.
Dear Tarja, with this song, I'd like to wish you a very happy birthday, and say thank you.
Lutz Arno Marcel Orgel wouldn't be where he is today if you hadn't noticed him and spoken to him.
You and your ravens are wonderful.
So sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy.

[COMPLETE-SILENCE|No-Instrument|2-bars]

[Verse 1]
The sun awakes with a lovely shine
You open your eyes, and you know — it's your day
The smell of coffee surrounds you
and softly, you start to smile

[Verse 2]
Your mind is full of music
but it's also full of life
You welcome the day and your ravens
You're whirling through the hours
and you listen to the sound of your Nest

[Chorus 1 | gospel choir joins, warm and tender]
Today is your day
a day to celebrate you
With every heartbeat, with every breath
you are joyful
Today is your day, Tarja

[Verse 3 | intimate piano and choir]
Your music unites us
your love connects us
You care about us
and you give us your time
More than any words could ever say

[Verse 4 | huge cathedral pipe organ and trumpets carry it — smoky raspy male voice leads, extended choir answers]
They know your name as something dark and mystical
a raven and a veil, a shadow deep as night
But those who love you know the truth —
you are a glowing prism, full of color and of light
A Franconian gift, a treasure rare and true
so we raise our Seidla Bierla to the sky
to a wonderful soul, the finest we could wish for —
whose birthday is today. Today, dear Tarja, is your day.

[T2:Solos-Before-Finale|Density:85%|Duration:2-bars|Vocals-Stop|Instruments-Take-Over]

[PipeOrgan Solo | the huge cathedral pipe organ plays ALONE — full Tutti plenum, thundering pedal reeds and blazing en-chamade trumpets, a majestic solo passage, 8 bars, NO vocals, NO drums, NO guitars]

[Cello Solo | a deep, warm, woody solo acoustic cello sings a rich, expressive melody, prominent and upfront, with the pipe organ still sounding underneath — 8 bars, NO vocals]

[Happy Birthday | pipeorgan, trumpets, cello, guitars, drums, full choir — all singing warmly together, joyful, not shouted]
Happy birthday, Tarja!
Raise your voices, raise them high
Happy birthday, Tarja!
Today the whole Nest sings for you
(Happy birthday, happy birthday)
To a wonderful treasure — this is your day!
(Happy birthday, happy birthday)
To a wonderful treasure — this is your day!

[Final Lift | warm, full and moving — sung, never screamed]
Today is your day
a day to celebrate you
With every heartbeat, with every breath
we celebrate you
Happy birthday, Tarja
