Birthday
Written by Heavily Armored Hamster

Hello again Son
Your Balance is Fine
You don't need to know
The EXP to the next level
Your journey's completed

Well, what is there to say?
Your birthday's coming soon
I'll try my best
To make it home
Just for that day

You're birthday's coming
You're going to be 13
Or is it 12, or is it 14?
You're growing up so fast
I missed out on so much
So much of your short short
Short short childhood

I wish I could be there more
I really, honestly do
Somehow I'll make it up to you
Your Birthday's coming
I'll have to surprise you

I'll have to get you a present

Something to make you sing
Maybe a new video Game
Or an even grander baseball bat
Or maybe a golden medal

Or maybe my very presence
Because you see it so rarely
Will be enough of a gift
A moment to cherish

But I don't believe that's enough
I think I must give you a gift
A gift you'll always remember
Something not material at all
Something emotional and metaphysical

Did you know that My birthday
Is also coming soon?
Did you know on that day
The day that you entered my world
Is the first day I was alive?

Did you know
That I have a thousand birthdays
Every time I'm by your side?

Did you know
Our birthday's coming soon?
An anniversary of our first day alive?

Your Birthday's coming soon
And I'll be sure to bring
A few words for you to see
Just how much
You've always meant to me
