  Verse 1

  Paper plates went tumbling wild Over dunes and into blue Nothing there could hold them still That's the way we think of you

  Pre-chorus

  So lift the roof and clap it loud Let the whole wide room stand up We came here for a reason now

  Chorus

  Lilian, brilliant, that's the truth Born to shine and never dim One in a million, that is you Sing it loud and sing again

  Verse 2

  Tide comes in and takes the sand Nothing ever stays the same But you stand steady where you land Burning bright and calling name

  Chorus

  Lilian, brilliant, that's the truth Born to shine and never dim One in a million, that is you Sing it loud and sing again

  Bridge

  Somebody clap for the life you've made Somebody shout it clear and true Every year that you have stayed Makes the whole room love you more

  Chorus

  Lilian, brilliant, that's the truth Born to shine and never dim One in a million, that is you Sing it loud and sing again

  Outro

  Let the plates blow where they may We know exactly where you'll stay

  Verse 1

  Wrapper stuck against the wire long after the bell rang out you never left when things got quiet you're the reason we're still about

  Chorus

  Lilian, the room lights up one in a million, plain to see nobody argues, nobody doubts it Lilian, you're brilliant to me

  Verse 2

  Some things blow away by morning some things cling on through the rain you're the colour nothing faded you came back again and again

  Pre-chorus

  So we're lighting up the candles we're not holding back tonight this is where the noise gets started

  Chorus

  Lilian, the room lights up one in a million, plain to see nobody argues, nobody doubts it Lilian, you're brilliant to me

  Bridge

  Every year you get a little louder every year we cheer a little more that's not nothing, that's not ordinary that's a reason worth shouting for

  Chorus

  Lilian, the room lights up one in a million, plain to see nobody argues, nobody doubts it Lilian, you're brilliant to me

  Outro

  Long after the wrappers scatter you're the one still standing there

  Disco · Funky · Strings

  A disco birthday singalong built for a whole room, warm and a little silly, about the way one person can turn a backyard afternoon into the best part of the year.

  Verse 1

  You said just grab a spoon Now the whole bench is a mess We are laughing under a sun that won't quit You started this, brilliant one

  Pre-chorus

  Sticky hands and the music rising Somebody's shouting your name from the grass We're all leaning in for

  Chorus

  Lilian, light up this yard One in a million, easy to spot You make the ordinary feel bigger Lilian, we're glad that you're ours

  Verse 2

  Ice cream running past your wrist You laugh and lick it off quick Nobody minds if the candles wait We're not done with this, not yet

  Bridge

  Every year gets a little louder Every year we love you harder

  Chorus

  Lilian, light up this yard One in a million, easy to spot You make the ordinary feel bigger Lilian, we're glad that you're ours

  Outro

  The bench still wears your mark tonight Sweet and stubborn, just like you
