[Verse 1]
Thirteen candles glowing bright
A little girl now takes her flight
You’ve got your mama’s fire inside
A heart so pure, a soul so wide
You light up every room you’re in
With that smart and cheeky grin
Beautiful, inside and out
Of you, sweet girl, there’s no doubt
[Chorus]
You’re my everything, my greatest part
My answered prayer, my beating heart
God sent you here to change my world
Now look at you, a grown-up girl
May love and joy be all you see
And strength be stitched into your seams
Happy birthday, baby girl
Thirteen and ready to change the world
[Verse 2]
You’ve got a laugh that lifts the day
A wit that never fades away
You see the world with open eyes
A little star just starting to rise
So chase your dreams and hold them tight
Be bold in wrong, be proud in right
And always know, through highs and lows
I’m right behind you as you grow
[Chorus]
You’re my everything, my greatest part
My answered prayer, my beating heart
God sent you here to change my world
Now look at you, a grown-up girl
May love and joy be all you see
And strength be stitched into your seams
Happy birthday, baby girl
Thirteen and ready to change the world
[Bridge]
You’ll fall, you’ll rise, you’ll learn, you’ll lead
And everything you’ll ever need
Is in that heart God placed in you
Strong, kind, and brave through every truth
[Final Chorus]
You’re my everything, my greatest part
My answered prayer, my work of art
God sent you here with light to give
And oh, how lucky I am to live
This life with you right next to me
Thirteen, and shining brilliantly
Happy birthday, Bella girl
Go out and light up this whole world
