Strike the Light
Style: Afrobeats

[Verse 1]
A box slides across the table
Somebody's calling out your name
Candles waiting for their moment
You always light up the room the same

[Pre-chorus]
Count the candles, watch them burn
Feel the love that you deserve
Here it comes, so take your turn

[Chorus]
Myla, strike the match tonight
We're all singing, gathered near
Myla, you're the flame, the light
Two more candles, one more year

[Verse 2]
You laugh loud and fill the kitchen
Every face turns towards your glow
Something in you keeps on rising
You're the warmth this house should know

[Bridge]
Hold the moment, hold it close
Let the sparks fly where they go
This is your night, nobody else's
Blow it out, then steal the show

[Chorus]
Myla, strike the match tonight
We're all singing, gathered near
Myla, you're the flame, the light
Two more candles, one more year

[Outro]
The box sits empty on the table
You're still burning, bright and true
