Verse 1:

The first time I saw your little face

Love was born that won’t ever fade

You’re the gift that Heaven sent to me

I promise I’ll always keep you safe

Pre-Chorus:

With every step you take, my prayers follow you

May joy and peace always carry you through

Chorus (2 stanzas):

For my daughter, you’re the light of my life

Stay strong, keep shining, hold your head high

I’ll guard your heart through every day and night

My prayers are always for you

For my daughter, be the kindest you can be

Love your parents, honor your journey

Shine so brightly, reach your greatest dreams

May God protect you wherever you’ll be

I want you to know, the world’s not always kind

But with faith, you’ll conquer every climb

Keep believing, never give up the fight

I know in my heart, you’ll do just fine

Every night I whisper your name in my prayer

To the skies, for blessings beyond compare

For my daughter, you’re the light of my life

Stay strong, keep shining, hold your head high

Be a beacon of hope for this world to see

I’m so proud of you, for eternity
