Muddy Hands, Bright Day
Style: Afrobeats

[Verse 1]
Trowels leaning on the shed
Garden soaked from all the rain
You still came out and dug ahead
Turning soil, easing pain

[Pre-chorus]
Look how far you've grown this year
Through the mud you kept it steady
Now the whole room's gathered near

[Chorus]
Aaliyah, light of every room
Nobody shines nearer
We came to sing to you
Aaliyah, our Mariah

[Verse 2]
Hands still dirty, heart still open
Every season, you show up
Promises you kept unspoken
Never once you gave it up

[Pre-chorus]
Candles waiting, cake in hand
Everybody's voice is ready
Let the whole house take its stand

[Chorus]
Aaliyah, light of every room
Nobody shines nearer
We came to sing to you
Aaliyah, our Mariah

[Bridge]
Another year of you is here
We're grateful, we're not hiding it
Clearer now than any year
You're the one this song was written for

[Chorus]
Aaliyah, light of every room
Nobody shines nearer
We came to sing to you
Aaliyah, our Mariah

[Outro]
Leave the trowels by the shed
Come inside, the cake is lit
