Gates Wide Open
Style: Ceilidh jig

[Verse 1]
Something in you won't sit still
bursting loose like the school day's done
the whole world feels like it's yours to spill
and we love you like the summer sun

[Pre-chorus]
Hear that clatter, hear that cheer
something's swinging wide today
get ready, the moment's here

[Chorus]
Avery, the gates fly open wide
run on out, we're right beside you
every year we're on your side
Avery, nobody shines the way you do

[Verse 2]
You hand out joy like paper bags
fistfuls of it, give it away
nothing about you ever drags
you make the ordinary into a great day

[Bridge]
Here's to the noise you bring the room
here's to the chances still to come
candles burning, making space, making room
for all the good things yet to be won

[Chorus]
Avery, the gates fly open wide
run on out, we're right beside you
every year we're on your side
Avery, nobody shines the way you do

[Outro]
Run on out, the bars swing free
this is your day, and you're loved endlessly
