  Verse 1

  Cans and wrappers pile up slow Stuck against the old lock gate But you never once got stuck Always found a way to flow

  Pre-chorus

  Whole world drifting, catching, jammed You just kept on moving through So tonight we raise it up

  Chorus

  Ariana, light the room up Pour the drinks and fill the cup up Nothing dirty ever holds you You're the one who lifts us up

  Verse 2

  Junk collects where water stops But you were never one to stop Every year you push on through Straight past every rusted lock

  Chorus

  Ariana, light the room up Pour the drinks and fill the cup up Nothing dirty ever holds you You're the one who lifts us up

  Bridge

  Here's to you, not the mess around you Here's to the shine nothing dims Every year the water rises And still you're the one who swims

  Chorus

  Ariana, light the room up Pour the drinks and fill the cup up Nothing dirty ever holds you You're the one who lifts us up

  Outro

  Let the cans and wrappers drift You're the one worth every gift

  Verse 1

  Silver paper hits the tarmac Torn loose from the gate You laughed and let it scatter Told us not to wait

  Chorus

  Ariana, kick the doors wide Nobody keeps you behind bars Light up the street like Montana Ariana, you're the reason we raise glass

  Verse 2

  You never needed the ribbon To know you're worth this fuss Every candle we're lighting Was lit because of us

  Pre-chorus

  Hear the trumpets lean in closer Feel the room start to sway We've got one more thing to say

  Chorus

  Ariana, kick the doors wide Nobody keeps you behind bars Light up the street like Montana Ariana, you're the reason we raise glass

  Bridge

  However far the wind has blown you We still know your name However loud the band gets going You're why we came

  Chorus

  Ariana, kick the doors wide Nobody keeps you behind bars Light up the street like Montana Ariana, you're the reason we raise glass

  Outro

  Let the silver paper scatter You were always free

• Oil Under the Bench

  Afrobeats · Percussion · Bouncy

  An upbeat Afrobeats birthday song built from the mess of a workbench: paper plates and spilled oil turned into proof of a hands-on, big-hearted love. Perfect for a room ready to sing and dance for someone who fixes everything for everyone else.

  Verse 1

  Oil on the floor again Plates stacked by the door You worked right through the party Giving more than you keep for yourself

  Pre-chorus

  Look at the mess you made for us Every bit of it was love So let the candles catch that spark

  Chorus

  Ariana, light the room up Pull your chair right to the middle Nobody works and loves this hard Ariana, you're the riddle

  Verse 2

  You never learned to sit still Always fixing something small Hands a little bit greasy Heart the biggest one of all

  Chorus

  Ariana, light the room up Pull your chair right to the middle Nobody works and loves this hard Ariana, you're the riddle

  Bridge

  Blow the candles, let the smoke rise Leave the cleaning up for later Tonight we're toasting who you are Not what you built or made you greater

  Chorus

  Ariana, light the room up Pull your chair right to the middle Nobody works and loves this hard Ariana, you're the riddle

  Outro

  Leave the plates right where they landed Tonight the mess can wait for you
