  Verse 1

  Rain came down and soaked us through Bags gone soft against the floor Nobody minded, least of all you Laughing like you'd won the war

  Chorus

  Josiah, raise the roof tonight Somebody bring the candles higher Say it loud so the whole street hears it Josiah lights us up like fire

  Verse 2

  Bus rattled on through the dark Puddles at your feet like glass Nothing about that ride was grand Still it's a night I won't let pass

  Pre-chorus

  Every year gets harder, faster You keep steady through it all So let the candles start to climb

  Chorus

  Josiah, raise the roof tonight Somebody bring the candles higher Say it loud so the whole street hears it Josiah lights us up like fire

  Bridge

  Isaiah couldn't hold a room like you Uriah never made us smile this way Malachi can keep his quiet corner You're the noise we needed today

  Chorus

  Josiah, raise the roof tonight Somebody bring the candles higher Say it loud so the whole street hears it Josiah lights us up like fire

  Outro

  Wet bags, bright lights, a rattling floor We'd ride that bus again for you

  Verse 1

  A green mitten on the porch left there like it don't matter but somebody's coming back for it the way we always come back for you

  Chorus

  Josiah, light up the yard every candle burning hard the whole street's singing your name we're lifting you up, Josiah

  Verse 2

  Soda can rolling off the step nobody's rushing to clean it today the mess can wait a while because today's the day we praise you

  Pre-chorus

  Feel that bassline in your chest hear the horns come round the corner this whole song is leaning toward you

  Chorus

  Josiah, light up the yard every candle burning hard the whole street's singing your name we're lifting you up, Josiah

  Bridge

  Some folks shine like Isaiah some folks burn like fire but you've got your own kind of glow and we are glad it found us

  Chorus

  Josiah, light up the yard every candle burning hard the whole street's singing your name we're lifting you up, Josiah

  Outro

  That mitten's still out on the slats keeping your good year warm

  Verse 1

  Foil wrappers spin across the sand Catching light by a broken shell Something small can still feel grand When you're the one it comes to tell

  Pre-chorus

  Stand up now, let the room see Clap your hands, let the joy rise We've been saving this for you and me

  Chorus

  Josiah, we sing your name out loud Lift you up like the morning fire Josiah, we're so glad and proud Every year you're climbing higher

  Verse 2

  You walk in and the whole place grins Something warm starts in your chest Every candle lit again begins Another year to be your best

  Bridge

  Like Isaiah stood and spoke his truth You stand tall in all you do Malachi called down the fire We're calling down the same for you

  Chorus

  Josiah, we sing your name out loud Lift you up like the morning fire Josiah, we're so glad and proud Every year you're climbing higher

  Outro

  Let the wrappers spin and shine This is your day, this life is fine
