Sunny Side Up and Kicking

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On the hottest day that July ever knew, A mother prayed and a miracle came through. Thirty-two long hours, sunny side up and bright, Kicking at the world with all your might. A song was born that summer moon, A baritone waiting for its tune. [Chorus] Happy birthday, my son, my pride, The greatest gift this life supplied, Through every fog, through every fight, You've been my joy, my morning light. Isaiah, can't you see, Heaven sent you down to me. [Verse 2] Six months before, through that thickest fog, I screamed to the sky, I cried out to God. Doctor Kind appeared like an angel that night, And kind is the man you grew to be. Precious Pearl saw your goodness, she could tell, She loved you best, yes she chose well. [Chorus] Happy birthday, my son, my pride, The greatest gift this life supplied, Through every fog, through every fight, You've been my joy, my morning light. Isaiah, can't you see, Heaven sent you down to me. [Bridge] If you weren't my son, you'd still be my friend, A loving soul, faithful 'til the end, You make the plants bloom, you make me laugh, You help me walk the times I can't. [Verse 3] Every Friday to Grandma and Grandpa you go, Dealing the cards, letting the kindness show. You nursed her back when her body grew weak, With the gentle strength only good men keep. Serving the needy, you standby their side. A quiet faith, a steady tide. [Chorus] Happy birthday, my son, my pride, The greatest gift this life supplied, Through every fog, through every fight, You are my joy, you shine so bright. Isaiah, can't you see, Heaven sent you down to me. [Outro] My deepest prayer the day you came, You'll live and love in Jesus' name.
