Grow Where You're Planted
Style: Piano pop

[Verse 1]
You left the shears out on the peg
Ready for whatever this year brings
Every packet that you kept and saved
Turns out to be worth more than things

[Pre-chorus]
We watched you dig and never quit
Turning rough ground into a fable
Now the candles catch and lift

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Mabel
Steady hand and heart of gold
You make the whole house stable
Mabel, worth more than we're told

[Verse 2]
You know which seeds need patient light
And which ones bloom before they're able
You've taught us all to wait it out
Nothing rushed, nothing unstable

[Bridge]
Here's to the rust and here's to the bloom
Here's to the hands that built this table
Every year you plant something new
And somehow it always comes back Mabel

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Mabel
Steady hand and heart of gold
You make the whole house stable
Mabel, worth more than we're told

[Outro]
Hang the shears back on the peg
Another year for you to hold
