Yeah, rise up
Celebrate the light, oh
It’s a special day, one love
Sun is shining brighter than it did before
Blessings knocking steady on the front door
Gather round the table, let the music play
Cause it’s a big milestone, a beautiful day
Neneh Seesay, you’re turning eleven today
Watching you bloom in a wonderful way
With a heart so golden and a spirit so free
You’re the brightest star for the world to see
Happy birthday to you, Neneh Seesay
Eleven years of joy lighting up our way
Celebrate the magic, celebrate the grace
Put a happy smile upon your lovely face
Yeah, Neneh Seesay, shine on, shine on
Until the setting of the golden sun
Eleven years of laughter, eleven years of fun
You’ve only just started, the journey’s begun
Keep your head held high, walk with pride and might
Everything you touch will be filled with light
Neneh Seesay, you make us so proud
Shout your name out, shout it to the cloud
Jah bless your path, keep you safe and strong
Right where you belong, singing your own song
Happy birthday to you, Neneh Seesay
Eleven years of joy lighting up our way
Celebrate the magic, celebrate the grace
Put a happy smile upon your lovely face
Yeah, Neneh Seesay, shine on, shine on
Until the setting of the golden sun
Oh, easy now, let the rhythm flow
Watching you grow, watching you grow
Eleven candles burning bright tonight
Everything is feeling so warm and right
Neneh Seesay, you are the queen today
In every single thought, in every single way
So let the drums beat and the horns ring out
This is what living is all about
Peace and harmony, love in the air
Neneh Seesay, we love you beyond compare
Growing up fast but stay true to your soul
Keep on reaching for that ultimate goal
One love, one heart, on this glorious day
Everything is better when you’re around to play
Happy birthday to you, Neneh Seesay
Eleven years of joy lighting up our way
Celebrate the magic, celebrate the grace
Put a happy smile upon your lovely face
Yeah, Neneh Seesay, shine on, shine on
Until the setting of the golden sun
Shine on, Neneh Seesay
It’s your time, it’s your day
Yeah, rise up, eleven years strong
Happy birthday, sing the song
One love, one love, yeah
Jah bless you, Neneh Seesay
