Chalk Lines and Yellow Light
Style: Funk strut

[Verse 1]
Yellow chalk lines on the tarmac
Wire fence catching morning sun
Even then you had that swagger
Marked out ground before you'd won

[Pre-chorus]
Every year you cross another line
Every time you make it look so easy
So pour it up, the moment's yours

[Chorus]
Michael, light the candles now
Two feet planted, chin held high
Michael, this whole room's for you
Born to strut, not wondering why

[Verse 2]
Same old gate, a different season
Still you walk it like you own the place
Something in the way you move through reasons
Nobody else can take your space

[Chorus]
Michael, light the candles now
Two feet planted, chin held high
Michael, this whole room's for you
Born to strut, not wondering why

[Bridge]
Rival, tribal, final, cycle
You've spun through every one of these
Vital as the sun that finds you
Still the name that we believe in

[Chorus]
Michael, light the candles now
Two feet planted, chin held high
Michael, this whole room's for you
Born to strut, not wondering why

[Outro]
Chalk fades but the ground remembers
You still walking, still the reason
