Happy Birthday... so make a wish.
Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have been,
Would you've been a little angel or an angel of sin?
Tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys,
Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes?
I payed for the murder before they determined the sex,
Choosing our life over your life meant your death.
And you never got a chance to even open your eyes...
Sometimes I wonder, as a fetus, if you fought for your life?
Would you have been a little genius, in love with math?
Would you have played in your school clothes and made me mad?
Would you have been a little rapper like your papa the Piper?
Would you have made me quit smoking by finding one of my lighters?
I wonder about your skin tone, the shape of your nose,
And the way you would have laughed and talked, fast or slow.
Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen.
Happy Birthday. Love you, whoever you would have been.
Happy Birthday.
Chorus
What I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (Happy Birthday)
What I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed
I made a mistake
