Shears in the Sun
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
Shears laid down on the old soil bag
Waiting there for another year
You left them there without a brag
But we all know what you steer

[Pre-chorus]
Something in you keeps things growing
Even when you don't say much
Tonight the whole room's glowing

[Chorus]
Wilbur, raise your glass up high
Nobody else could stir this crowd
You're the reason we don't say goodbye
Wilbur, sing it good and loud

[Verse 2]
Dust on the handles, work well done
Another year you've dug and built
You never boast of what you've won
But look at all the love you've spilt

[Chorus]
Wilbur, raise your glass up high
Nobody else could stir this crowd
You're the reason we don't say goodbye
Wilbur, sing it good and loud

[Bridge]
Here's to the hands that never rest
Here's to the heart beneath the dirt
You give us always your very best
And never once has it felt like hurt

[Chorus]
Wilbur, raise your glass up high
Nobody else could stir this crowd
You're the reason we don't say goodbye
Wilbur, sing it good and loud

[Outro]
The shears will wait another year
So will we, right here for you
