Eleven candles

“Eleven Candles, Karah”
[Verse 1]
Feels like yesterday I held you tight
Tiny hands in the hospital light
Now you’re laughing, running wild and free
Growing up right in front of me
Pink sneakers in the driveway dust
Barbie dreams and a fearless trust
You don’t see it yet, but I do
The whole wide world’s gonna notice you
[Pre-Chorus]
Every year’s another page
Watching my little girl turn the age
[Chorus]
Eleven candles shining bright
Karah girl, you’re my whole world’s light
From scraped-up knees to big dreams tall
I’ll be right here through it all
You’re braver than you even know
Got a heart of gold and a steady glow
No matter how big this life may seem
You’ll always be my little queen
[Verse 2]
You got that sparkle in your eyes
Same stubborn fire, same surprise
When you laugh, it fills the room
Like springtime breaking through the gloom
One day you’ll chase your own sunrise
Spread those wings and start to fly
But before you do, just understand
You’ll always have your daddy’s hand
[Bridge – Soft & Emotional]
When the world feels loud and mean
And middle school gets in between
Remember who you’ve always been
Strong and kind with thick skin
[Final Chorus – Bigger]
Eleven candles, make a wish
There ain’t a single dream you’ll miss
God’s got plans bigger than we see
But you’ll always be that kid to me
Through every tear and every win
Every loss and every grin
Blow them out and know it’s true
There ain’t nothing I wouldn’t do for you
