Candlesticks sink in chocolate ice-cream cake,
dreams of yesteryears drift through tomorrows
A new vision dawns when you do awake,
birth's morning you'll feel like a blooming rose
Light shines inside your pure heart deep within,
as thoughts you jot bestow so much beauty
Make that sweet wish before the candles dim,
precious moments on wings soaring freely
Candle wax rests inside a paper box,
icing melts around the end of the tips
The clock strikes twelve with some ticks and some tocks,
off in the night floats your twenty four ships
One ship comes back for you to sail away,
The twenty fifth ship sings, "Happy Rebirth Day!"
