Footprints, Ben
Style: Motown soul

[Verse 1]
Footprints by the old iron fence
Melting soft in grey and thin
But some marks never fade from view
That's the kind you leave behind, Ben

[Chorus]
Happy birthday to you, Ben
Light a candle, let it burn
Every year you come back round again
We keep loving you in return

[Verse 2]
Snow gives way but you remain
Warm as summer, steady as ten
Every winter comes and goes
Your kind of warmth don't melt again

[Pre-chorus]
So raise your voice up for the one
Who never lets the cold win
Tonight we're calling out his name

[Chorus]
Happy birthday to you, Ben
Light a candle, let it burn
Every year you come back round again
We keep loving you in return

[Bridge]
However far the roads may bend
We know just where you've been
You're the warmth we're walking toward

[Chorus]
Happy birthday to you, Ben
Light a candle, let it burn
Every year you come back round again
We keep loving you in return

[Outro]
The slush will melt, the fence will stand
But you're the warmth in every hand
