Josiah

When my family turned their backs and left me behind

When I was chased away and losing my mind

I had nowhere to go, I was broken apart

But you opened the door and welcomed me to your heart

You carried my weight when I was too weak to stand

You gave me a place to belong, you took my hand

Happy birthday, Josiah, my one and only king

You showed me what the meaning of true love can bring

It's not beautiful words, it's staying when it's hard

You gave me a safe place inside of your arms

I choose you today, tomorrow, and the rest of my life

Happy birthday, Phoyisa, my heart and my light

Going in and out of those hospital doors

I was so sick, but you anchored me to the shores

You took care of me, you comforted my soul

You never abandoned me, you made me feel whole

When everyone else rejected me and let me fall

You stood by my side and you carried it all

Happy birthday, Josiah, my one and only king

You showed me what the meaning of true love can bring

It's not beautiful words, it's staying when it's hard

You gave me a safe place inside of your arms

I choose you today, tomorrow, and the rest of my life

Happy birthday, Phoyisa, my heart and my light

I pray that God blesses you and protects your way

I pray for a long life for you every single day

No matter what comes, no matter the weather

I want us to keep on standing together

Forever your darling, forever your own

With you, my Josiah, I am finally home

You have a special place deep in my chest

Thank you for loving me and giving your best

Happy birthday, Josiah, my one and only king

You showed me what the meaning of true love can bring

It's not beautiful words, it's staying when it's hard

You gave me a safe place inside of your arms

I choose you today, tomorrow, and the rest of my life

Happy birthday, Phoyisa, happy birthday, Josiah, I love you for life
