Fatima, Light the Yard
Style: Reggae sunshine

[Verse 1]
Tools hang tired against the wall
Green paint peeling, ready to fall
But you walk out and the whole yard wakes
You're the reason we gather at all

[Pre-chorus]
Something in you turns the grey to gold
Every year we're glad to see you grow
So let the whole street know

[Chorus]
Fatima, light the yard tonight
You're the warmth we can't fight
Two of us or ten of us singing
Fatima, you make it right

[Verse 2]
The spade's gone quiet, the rake's asleep
Hung up crooked, nothing to keep
But you bring noise where the silence sat
We wake up glad that you're ours to keep

[Pre-chorus]
Something in you turns the grey to gold
Every year we're glad to see you grow
So let the whole street know

[Chorus]
Fatima, light the yard tonight
You're the warmth we can't fight
Two of us or ten of us singing
Fatima, you make it right

[Bridge]
Blow the candle, watch it climb
We'll say it slow, we'll say it every time
You are loved beyond the reasons
You are ours in every season

[Chorus]
Fatima, light the yard tonight
You're the warmth we can't fight
Two of us or ten of us singing
Fatima, you make it right

[Outro]
The tools still hang against the wall
But you're the brightest thing of all
