You need no crown you need no praise
Your glow survives the darkest days
No stage no crowd no borrowed flame
Yet all the stars recall your name
For time has chosen you once more
To open hearts to heal restore
No louder song could mean as much
As gentle hands as tender touch
Happy Birthday—soft and clear
The world feels brighter when you’re near
No gilded throne no grand design
But still your light outshines the line
You walk through crowds yet stand apart
A quiet fire a steadfast heart
No need for thunder to be known
Your calm itself has always shone
The wind may rise the sky may weep
But love like yours is wide and deep
You light the night then fade from sight
And leave behind a trail of light
Happy Birthday—let it be
The song of strength and purity
Each year that passes softly spun
Adds warmth to all you’ve loved and done
If storms should come don’t lose your glow
For dawn is born in those who know
The flame you guard will never die
It’s mirrored in another’s eye
Happy Birthday—calm and bright
You are the world’s remembered light
Not for fame not for height
But for the love you give to night
