Twenty-Five Years of Steady

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Twenty-five years ago, a screen, a spark, Two strangers reaching out into the dark. Words became a bridge, a slow burning flame, A quiet heart that listened, then softly spoke my name. You came with open hands and an open mind, The kind of love so few will ever find. [Chorus] Happy fiftieth to the one who stayed, Through every storm, through every prayer we prayed. You're the steady hand, the gentle song, The reason every road feels like home all along. So here's to you, our shining light, Your happiest birthday, this golden night. [Verse 2] You stood beside my faith and made it yours, On our wedding day, you opened sacred doors. Bahá'í vows beneath a hopeful sky, A promise in your eyes I'd know until I die. Marc, you chose this love, you chose this road, And carried more than half of every load. [Chorus] Happy fiftieth to the one who stayed, Through every storm, through every prayer we prayed. You're the steady hand, the gentle song, The reason every road feels like home all along. So here's to you, our shining light, Your happiest birthday, this golden night. [Bridge] Lost in Waterton, the mountains tall and wide, A helicopter came, but you were by my side. From Yellowknife, our Sage, a gift, a start, A son who rearranged and blessed our hearts. [Verse 3] Fifty years of grace, your love unchanged, A quiet kind of strong through all we've braved. Family, faith, adventure, and grace, I see it all reflected in your face. [Chorus] Happy fiftieth, Marc, the one who stayed, Through every storm, through every prayer we prayed. [Outro] Here's to you, our shining light, Marc, your happiest fiftieth, this golden night.
