Hilda (Best Day Yet)
Style: Motown soul

[Verse 1]
Pigeons fight for crumbs on the ground
Down by the rusted iron slats
You laugh and toss another crust round
Kinder than most, and that's a fact

[Pre-chorus]
Candles waiting, the room's gone still
Everybody here feels the thrill
So let it out, we're ready to shout

[Chorus]
Hilda, Hilda, light up the room
Nobody shines quite like you can
Some folks grow soft, you just grow wilder
Happiest birthday to you, Hilda

[Verse 2]
You feed the birds and you feed us too
Always giving more than you take
We count ourselves lucky knowing you
Every year sweeter, like good cake

[Bridge]
Here's to the years still coming your way
Here's to the joy you hand out free
We're raising a glass to your day
Grateful as anyone could be

[Chorus]
Hilda, Hilda, light up the room
Nobody shines quite like you can
Some folks grow soft, you just grow wilder
Happiest birthday to you, Hilda

[Outro]
The crusts are gone, the pigeons scatter
You stay with us, that's all that matters
