Setaita One More Candle

Lyrics

Verse 1
Setaita, little star,
Today you’ve gone so far.
One small step, one big smile,
You’ve been winning all the while.

From Christchurch to your name,
We light a joyful flame.
Tiny hands, bright eyes,
A whole new world in your size.

Pre-Chorus
Oh, look at you now,
The room turns around.
Mama’s proud, daddy too,
Everybody sings for you.

Chorus
Happy birthday, Setaita
Happy birthday, Setaita
One more candle, one more cheer
Setaita, we’re glad you’re here

Happy birthday, Setaita
Happy birthday, Setaita
Dance so sweet, shine so bright
From Christchurch with love tonight

Verse 2
Cake on your little cheek,
Laughing in your party seat.
Clap your hands, stomp the floor,
Everybody wants some more.

African joy in the air,
Love is spinning everywhere.
Names and songs, drums and praise,
Blessings follow all your days.

Pre-Chorus
Oh, look at you now,
The room turns around.
Mama’s proud, daddy too,
Everybody sings for you.

Chorus
Happy birthday, Setaita
Happy birthday, Setaita
One more candle, one more cheer
Setaita, we’re glad you’re here

Happy birthday, Setaita
Happy birthday, Setaita
Dance so sweet, shine so bright
From Christchurch with love tonight

Bridge
May you grow in grace,
May you run your race.
May your heart stay kind,
May joy always find.

Every step, every day,
Love will lead the way.
Setaita, hear us sing,
You’re our little blessing.

Final Chorus
Happy birthday, Setaita
Happy birthday, Setaita
One more candle, one more cheer
Setaita, we’re glad you’re here

Happy birthday, Setaita
Happy birthday, Setaita
Dance so sweet, shine so bright
From Christchurch with love tonight
