Candle in an Outstretched Hand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some hearts were built to carry more, to open up an unlocked door. You gave your time, you gave your grace, a helping hand in every place. Even when the road grew steep, you found the strength that runs so deep. [Chorus] Happy birthday, this one's for you, brave and giving, tender and true. Through every storm you learned to stand, a candle's light in an outstretched hand. Dee Dee, this love will never end, our fighter, our light, our friend. [Verse 2] You've felt a loss that cut so wide, your father walking by your side. You miss the laughter, home, and rest, Juanie's voice, and Kyon pressed against your chest — those simple days, you hold them close in quiet ways. [Chorus] Happy birthday, this one's for you, brave and giving, tender and true. Through every storm you learned to stand, a candle's light in an outstretched hand. Dee Dee, this love will never end, our fighter, our light, our friend. [Bridge] And Sean is coming, hold on tight, a brand new dawn is within sight. What tried to break you made you strong — this is your season, right where you belong. [Verse 3] So speak your truth like you always do, the world grew softer 'cause of you. New beginnings, healing days, courage lighting up your ways. Dee Dee, the best is yet to bloom, love is walking in your room. Dee Dee, the best is yet to bloom, love is walking in your room. And Kevin — the love you hold so dear, shines brighter with each passing year. [Chorus] Happy birthday, this one's for you, brave and giving, tender and true. Through every storm you learned to stand, a candle's light in an outstretched hand. [Outro] Dee Dee, our fighter, shining bright, we celebrate your life tonight.. With Kevin’s love forever near, we raise our hearts to cheer.
