ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY YUH (Rena's bday song)

01.01.23

i wish i knew all the answers
cuz i fuck it up all day
i wanna honor mrs. sanders
can You teach me the way

to live the life i wanna lead
raising kids especially
the writing on the wall says i can't be
the man You'll know i'll be

What I see in you
I've seen you rise to the occasion
I've seen the courage of your dreams
your heart is never breaking
but it's healing over time
and I have already erased the
things you did from yesterday
and sin burned in your memory
All the nights the world would hate you
I call you to stand with Me
you have a seat at My table
there is mercy left in Me
for a couple thousand lifetimes
why would you expect to be
rejected by the Lion who roars with love for you
you can stand with Me

booyah

take a breath of the air
with no sin in your lungs
this is what i made you for
this is what i made you for
hold onto your laugh
there's only one
that's what i made you for
that's what i made you for
so pile up the books
throw it all away i want your heart
from the start
you aint gotta be nothin
but yourself
no one else

nothin

FOOTNOTES:
The instrumental to Rome was created by Jose Ariseto--the first producer I ever met at Gunn and one of the first people I expressed the idea of Liftoff to back in 2015.
The track was sent while I was in Rome during the summer, which inspired the title.
Jerry's violin instrumentation was never planned. He stopped by the studio while we were recording in November and started improvising to the instrumental on the spot.
