  Verse 1

  Found you on a bent old bench Boxes stacked up, feathers strewn Sun was low and gold that day You made the whole park glisten

  Pre-chorus

  You turned junk to something gold Made the ordinary hum Now the room's about to sing

  Chorus

  Barry, Barry, light the flame Nobody else could wear that name You make the dullest corner shine Barry, we're so glad you came

  Verse 2

  You could carry half the world Never once let go the thread Pigeons scattered, you just laughed Called it lucky, called it splendid

  Bridge

  Every year you make it warmer Every year you make us braver Blow the candles, make it louder We're not letting this feeling go

  Chorus

  Barry, Barry, light the flame Nobody else could wear that name You make the dullest corner shine Barry, we're so glad you came

  Outro

  Somewhere there's a bench still waiting Barry, you're the reason it's not empty

  Verse 1

  Lemons rolling off the stall Bright beneath the striped old tent Somehow you outshine them all Walking in like you were sent

  Pre-chorus

  Something in the market air Says today's a different day So let's not just stand and stare

  Chorus

  Barry, Barry, light the horns Every trumpet plays for you Barry, we were made for mornings When the sky turns gold and blue

  Verse 2

  Every stall knows how to sell But nobody sells like you Ringing out that market bell Making tired old things feel new

  Chorus

  Barry, Barry, light the horns Every trumpet plays for you Barry, we were made for mornings When the sky turns gold and blue

  Bridge

  We could carry crates till dark Just to hear you laugh again You're the sunshine, you're the spark Worth more than any lemon, friend

  Chorus

  Barry, Barry, light the horns Every trumpet plays for you Barry, we were made for mornings When the sky turns gold and blue

  Outro

  So roll on out, let canvas sway We're glad you're here, another day

  Verse 1

  Flour on the white tile floor Muddy boots beside the door Nobody minds the mess you made Your kind of chaos never fades

  Pre-chorus

  We could sweep it, let it be Every crumb's a memory Something's building, can't you feel

  Chorus

  Barry, Barry, light of this house Loud as thunder, soft as a mouse We will carry your name so far Barry, you're our shining star

  Verse 2

  You track joy in everywhere you go Leave a trail so we all know Hands still dusty, heart still wide Nothing about you tries to hide

  Pre-chorus

  We could sweep it, let it be Every crumb's a memory Something's building, can't you feel

  Chorus

  Barry, Barry, light of this house Loud as thunder, soft as a mouse We will carry your name so far Barry, you're our shining star

  Bridge

  Sorry never fit you well You're the story we love to tell Starry nights and kitchen floors All of it, we're always yours

  Chorus

  Barry, Barry, light of this house Loud as thunder, soft as a mouse We will carry your name so far Barry, you're our shining star

  Outro

  Boots by the door, flour on the ground This is the home where you are found
