Lyrics

Verse 1
Noah, they named you rest,
and somehow that came true,
the calmest voice in every storm
this family's sailed into.
Chorus
Happy birthday, Noah, let the water hold the light,
you're the steady in our current, the harbor in our night,
one more year of you is one more year of shore,
sing it soft for Noah, then sing it one time more.
Verse 2
You never raise your voice to win,
you just wait until it's kind,
patience like a long slow river —
the rarest thing to find.
Bridge
They say the flood took forty days,
your love has lasted longer always.
Chorus
Happy birthday, Noah, let the water hold the light,
one more year of you is one more year of shore.
