Yeah,
today
the
sun
shines
a
little
brighter
For
a
special
man,
we
celebrate
today
Samuel
Akoto,
this
one
is
for
you
Let
the
music
take
control
Early
in
the
morning,
the
birds
start
to
sing
Bringing
us
a
melody
that
the
seasons
bring
Another
year
has
passed,
you're
standing
tall
Answering
the
rhythm,
answering
the
call
We
look
at
the
journey,
the
path
you
have
tread
With
kindness
in
your
heart
and
wisdom
in
your
head
It
is
a
milestone,
a
beautiful
sight
To
see
you
shining
with
all
of
your
might
Oh
Samuel
Akoto,
celebrate
your
day
In
the
rhythm
of
life,
in
a
beautiful
way
Another
year
older,
another
year
wise
We
see
the
sparkle
deep
in
your
eyes
Dance
to
the
rumba,
let
the
spirit
flow
Because
you
are
a
blessing
that
we
all
know
Happy
birthday
to
you,
let
the
joy
remain
Singing
your
praises
again
and
again
Life
is
a
garden,
you
planted
the
seeds
Cultivating
kindness
with
all
of
your
deeds
Through
the
ups
and
the
downs,
you
stayed
so
true
Keeping
the
focus
in
all
that
you
do
Friends
gather
round
with
a
smile
on
their
face
Moving
to
the
tempo,
keeping
the
pace
It
is
not
about
gold
or
the
silver
we
find
But
the
memories
shared
and
the
peace
of
mind
Oh
Samuel
Akoto,
celebrate
your
day
In
the
rhythm
of
life,
in
a
beautiful
way
Another
year
older,
another
year
wise
We
see
the
sparkle
deep
in
your
eyes
Dance
to
the
rumba,
let
the
spirit
flow
Because
you
are
a
blessing
that
we
all
know
Happy
birthday
to
you,
let
the
joy
remain
Singing
your
praises
again
and
again (
Brass
section

Let
the
guitars
play
that
classic
sound
As
we
lift
our
spirits
off
the
ground
With
every
step,
with
every
beat
Making
this
celebration
truly
complete
Oh
Samuel,
you
set
the
tone
A
king
in
his
kingdom,
sitting
on
his
throne
May
the
future
be
bright
as
the
morning
dew
Full
of
the
dreams
that
are
coming
for
you
Keep
walking
forward,
keep
reaching
for
stars
Healing
the
world
and
hiding
the
scars
We
are
here
for
you,
standing
by
your
side
With
nothing
to
fear
and
nothing
to
hide
Just
pure
celebration,
just
pure
delight
On
this
wonderful
day,
on
this
special
night
Oh
Samuel
Akoto,
celebrate
your
day
In
the
rhythm
of
life,
in
a
beautiful
way
Another
year
older,
another
year
wise
We
see
the
sparkle
deep
in
your
eyes
Dance
to
the

let
the
spirit

time,

your
day (
