Happy Birthday, yeah we celebrate you,

Happy Birthday, the world sings with you!

Verse 1 (Soulful / Chicago Gospel)
From the church pews singing to the backyard cookouts,
Every hand clappin’, every voice gettin’ loud.
God gave life, and today we shout,
Your name in the air, that’s what love’s about.
Candles lit up, and the cake get sliced,
But the real gift is the breath of life.
So dance, so laugh, let the joy ignite,
The world gon’ sing with your soul tonight.
Hook
Happy Birthday, yeah we celebrate you,
Light up the sky, let the blessings shine through.
One more year, that’s a victory too,
Happy Birthday, the world sings with you!

Verse 2 (Street Bounce / Chicago Energy)
Block party jumpin’, everybody outside,
Speakers knockin’ hard, let the city unite.
We don’t just count years, we count battles survived,
Another trip around the sun, yeah you still alive.
From the Chi to the islands, the anthem spread wide,
From the hustle of the streets to the oceans tide.
Pour love in the cup, raise it high with pride,
Your story still writin’, it can’t be denied.
Hook
Happy Birthday, yeah we celebrate you,
Light up the sky, let the blessings shine through.
One more year, that’s a victory too,
Happy Birthday, the world sings with you!

Verse 3 (Global Anthem / Universal Reach)
From the drums in Africa to the bells in Rome,
From the barrios of Santo to the Chi-town home.
Every language, every voice, same love, one tone,
We sing it for the young and the fully grown.
Not just a song, it’s a crown we wear,
Not just a moment, it’s a global prayer.
May your steps stay strong, may your skies stay fair,
Happy Birthday forever, the world declares.
Hook (Final / Choir Layered)
Happy Birthday, yeah we celebrate you,
Light up the sky, let the blessings shine through.
One more year, that’s a victory too,
Happy Birthday, the world sings with you!
