Something Worth Keeping
Style: Barbershop

[Verse 1]
Past the rotting leaves and old wire cages
Something good was left to grow
Nobody thought to look twice there
But you're the one they ought to know

[Pre-chorus]
You turned up plain among the mess
No one expected you to shine
So let the room get loud and messy

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Patrick, stand up tall
You're no static, no dry attic
Bright among the overgrown and small
Patrick, you're the opposite of static

[Verse 2]
Weeds took over half the turnip rows
Cages rusted, latch gone slack
But you kept growing anyway
And nothing ever holds you back

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Patrick, stand up tall
You're no static, no dry attic
Bright among the overgrown and small
Patrick, you're the opposite of static

[Bridge]
We could've walked right past you easy
Missed the shine beneath the grime
So raise a glass for what we found here
Worth the wait, worth every climb

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Patrick, stand up tall
You're no static, no dry attic
Bright among the overgrown and small
Patrick, you're the opposite of static

[Outro]
Let the cabbage leaves keep rotting
You're the one still standing green
