The Rebel Meant for Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of hero In the way you face each day Hands that hold the world together In your strong and steady way I remember when I met you Wind and laughter, wild and free Riding faster than you should have Like the rebel meant for me [Chorus] Here's to you, here's to all you are Every gentle word, every shining scar Here's to love that grew from a single spark Happy birthday to the keeper of my heart [Verse 2] You don't see what I see, Tim When you're quiet in the night Carrying a kind of sorrow Wondering if you've done it right But your mama and your daddy Oh, they'd know you as our stone You're the glue, you're the foundation You're the reason we have home [Chorus] Here's to you, here's to all you are Every gentle word, every shining scar Here's to love that grew from a single spark Happy birthday to the keeper of my heart [Bridge] If they could see you now, my love They'd be proud of all you've done Of the family you protect Of the father you've become [Verse 3] So today we light the candles For the man who lights our way For new mornings, new beginnings For the strength in what you say Tim, I've never found the words right For the thanks I want to give So I'll love you every sunrise For as long as I shall live [Chorus] Here's to you, here's to all you are Every gentle word, every shining scar Here's to love that grew from a single spark Happy birthday to the keeper of my heart [Outro] Happy birthday, sweet Tim To the keeper of my heart
