Ahmed, Light the Room
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
The caravan was rocking on its wheels
Plates stacked high, the whole thing swayed
You laughed until the table shook
Nobody cared how the night got spread

[Chorus]
Ahmed, stand up, let the horns come in
Somebody's clapping, somebody's grinned
We came here just to make you glad
Ahmed, this whole room lifts for you instead

[Verse 2]
You handed round the paper plates
Made sure that everyone got fed
There's always room for one more chair
When you're the one who's at the head

[Pre-chorus]
Count the candles, count the years
Somebody's reaching for the mic
We're not finished yet, not close

[Chorus]
Ahmed, stand up, let the horns come in
Somebody's clapping, somebody's grinned
We came here just to make you glad
Ahmed, this whole room lifts for you instead

[Bridge]
However far this old van's rolled
You kept us warm, you kept us close
Nobody else could hold a room
The way you do, the way you always chose

[Chorus]
Ahmed, stand up, let the horns come in
Somebody's clapping, somebody's grinned
We came here just to make you glad
Ahmed, this whole room lifts for you instead

[Outro]
Stack the plates, the night's not done
We'll toast you till the candles spread
