Thirty candles, in a perfect ellipse,
Thirty candles, all ready and lit,
Bend down and blow and hear all the cheers,
Say "Thank you!" with a smile and hide all the tears.

Thirty candles, with stories to tell,
All thirty years old, and you know them well,
Thirty candles, the questions they asked,
And though you are thirty, you're still at a loss.

Twenty and young, up late with your friends,
With nothing but hope and dreams in your head,
Thirty and grown, up late with your beer,
Those dreams in your head forgotten instead.

Turn twenty-five, and caught in his charms,
And you wish time would stop while you're in his arms,
Thirty and wise, now drinking alone,
His charms now a nightmare you wish you'd never known.

Thirty candles, the years of regrets,
Though now you are thirty, you still can't forget,
Thirty candles, the pain and the lies,
The names and the lessons that made you so "wise".

Thirty candles, now sitting alone,
The party's now over coz' they need to go home,
Your twenties are out with the fall of the night,
Like those thirty candles that once burned so bright.

Thirty candles that must have been a dream,
Coz' you're lost and confused like when you were sixteen,
They said we'll be wiser the older we grow,
Still looking for answers at thirty years old.

Thirty candles, in a perfect ellipse,
Thirty candles, all ready and lit,
Bend down and blow and hear all the cheers,
Say "Thank You!" with a smile and face all your fears.

Thirty candles, all things come to an end,
So let's make our thirty the best that we can,
Coz one year from now your Thirty will end,
And you will never go back to thirty again.
