Birthday

I sit here by their graveside,

Oh how I miss them so

They were my confidants

And taught me much of what I know

Dad you spent so many years

Upon a distant sea

Fighting for the rest of us

So we were safe and free

Mom you're still here by his side

Where you have always stood

Somehow through it all

You both did everything you could

I'm told this is my birthday

So I came to tell you two

I'm still headed down that highway

And it's all because of you
