Birthday Song

Words and music by Christopher Kent

They say it’s your birthday
You’re 20 years old today
And so it goes, a year is done
Before you know it you’ll be 21

They say it’s your birthday
You’re 20 years old today
You’ve passed the point of no return
Now there’s nothing left for you to learn

A fifth of a century
And look at all you have left to be
Caught in the middle of time….

They say it’s your birthday
You’re twenty years old today
And so it goes, a year is done
Before you know it, you’ll be 21
