  Verse 1

  Wood keeps stacking round the flame Still it burns and holds the line You keep going, call your name Something steady, something fine

  Pre-chorus

  Count the years like driftwood piled Watch the fire find its way Here it comes, so light it wild

  Chorus

  Mariana, light the banner high Sparks are flying, catch the beat Mariana, we don't wonder why You're the fire, we're the heat

  Verse 2

  Tide comes up and tries its luck Never once has won the fight You're the flame that won't get stuck Burning low but burning right

  Chorus

  Mariana, light the banner high Sparks are flying, catch the beat Mariana, we don't wonder why You're the fire, we're the heat

  Bridge

  Every year the wood piles higher Every year you're still the fire Hands together, make some noise

  Chorus

  Mariana, light the banner high Sparks are flying, catch the beat Mariana, we don't wonder why You're the fire, we're the heat

  Outro

  Flat against the sand it glows That's the way your good light goes

  Verse 1

  Left the mower right by the gate Tied some balloons, could hardly wait Old rusted spade never looked so grand Because your birthday is close at hand

  Pre-chorus

  Something in the air is rising now Every voice is finding out how To lift your name up loud and clear

  Chorus

  Mariana, sing it like a banner We are shouting out your name Mariana, joy in every manner This whole room is glad you came

  Verse 2

  You turn a yard into a scene Balloons and steel and grass so green You make the plainest corner glow We would follow you, you know

  Chorus

  Mariana, sing it like a banner We are shouting out your name Mariana, joy in every manner This whole room is glad you came

  Bridge

  Every candle bends toward you Every voice in here is true We are glad you're standing here

  Chorus

  Mariana, sing it like a banner We are shouting out your name Mariana, joy in every manner This whole room is glad you came

  Outro

  That spade still stands beside the gate We are glad we didn't have to wait

  Verse 1

  Feathers on the turquoise slats fall like scraps of silver light somebody left this whole scene here waiting on you like a banner

  Pre-chorus

  Every step you take tonight turns the ground to dance floor gold we're all leaning toward the sound

  Chorus

  Mariana, hear us calling light the room up, watch us fall in nobody moves quite like you move Mariana, keep us all in

  Verse 2

  Wind comes through and scatters feathers spins them where the colours land you were always built for spinning never one to understand standing still

  Chorus

  Mariana, hear us calling light the room up, watch us fall in nobody moves quite like you move Mariana, keep us all in

  Bridge

  Every year you turn the volume up every year we love you more for it cake and noise and turquoise floors this is yours, take every bit

  Chorus

  Mariana, hear us calling light the room up, watch us fall in nobody moves quite like you move Mariana, keep us all in

  Outro

  Feathers settle, music's fading you're still here and still amazing
