Vera, Light It Up
Style: Acoustic pop

[Verse 1]
Something's still burning in the gutter
Small light that just won't shudder
Everybody thought it would fade
But you're not built that way, Vera

[Pre-chorus]
You keep glowing after dark
Long after the rest lose their spark
Something in you refuses to end

[Chorus]
Vera, Vera, here's to your fire
Nobody burns like you, nobody's higher
We're gathered round you, glad you're near
Vera, Vera, we're so glad you're here

[Verse 2]
Every year the smoke clears slow
You're still standing in the glow
People come and people go
But you stay lit, that much we know

[Chorus]
Vera, Vera, here's to your fire
Nobody burns like you, nobody's higher
We're gathered round you, glad you're near
Vera, Vera, we're so glad you're here

[Bridge]
Blow out candles, make a wish
We'll cheer for you like this
Another year and you're still bright
Warmer than the porch light

[Chorus]
Vera, Vera, here's to your fire
Nobody burns like you, nobody's higher
We're gathered round you, glad you're near
Vera, Vera, we're so glad you're here

[Outro]
Long after the party's ember fades
You'll still be the warmth that stays
