This Is My Moment

***
The phone began to ring.
Half-asleep, I didn't catch a thing.
They said: "Come on down."
I thought: just a prank, a joke going around.

A few seconds later, it rang again.
I lost my temper, spoke in vain...
But through the phone: "Bro, don't you know my voice?
It's your birthday, come on down, you have no choice."

I didn't know this was my moment,
Sleepy mind, I missed the whole plot...
But outside the window, the light breaks through,
And this surprise brings joy anew!

Sneakers on, I'm flying down!
Heart in rhythm, this is the prize.
This day is mine, a sweet surprise:
Happy birthday, bro! Feel the energy rise!

This is my moment...
There is no greater joy!

Riding the elevator, hands start to shake,
The bass from below is starting to wake.
Five minutes ago, I dreaded the light,
But now I realize: this moment is right.

The greatest reward is right here with me,
The harsh words I spoke, let them just be.
Balloons, fireworks, bass on the floor,
Happy birthday, bro! We couldn't ask for more!

The voice on the line...
Is calling again:
"Come on outside."
The party is waiting, my friend!

Sneakers on, I'm flying down!
Heart in rhythm, this is the prize.
This day is mine, a sweet surprise:
Happy birthday, bro! Feel the energy rise!

This is my moment...
There is no greater joy!

I didn't get it back then...
But happiness is clear to see.
For this single call,
I'd cross the whole world, wild and free.

Thanks, my brother...
For waking me up.
This birthday of mine...
I will keep in my heart, my joy overflows.
