  Verse 1

  Corner flags are snapping loud empty grass before the game something in this quiet crowd already knows and calls your name

  Pre-chorus

  We've been counting down the days waiting here to shout it out one more year of all your ways

  Chorus

  Omar, the whistle's about to blow light the pitch up, near or far every single person here you know is glad the year brought back Omar

  Verse 2

  Nets are hanging, still and bare goalposts standing, wide and true but nothing here means much to share until we're stood here next to you

  Pre-chorus

  We've been counting down the days waiting here to shout it out one more year of all your ways

  Chorus

  Omar, the whistle's about to blow light the pitch up, near or far every single person here you know is glad the year brought back Omar

  Bridge

  Wind can turn and flags can bend but you're the one that we depend on for the laugh, the goal, the cheer so blow the candles, start the year

  Chorus

  Omar, the whistle's about to blow light the pitch up, near or far every single person here you know is glad the year brought back Omar

  Outro

  Flags still snap out on that field but you're the one who makes us yield

  Swing big band · Swing · Big band · Brassy

  A swinging, big band birthday number built for a whole room to belt out, built around the image of a bench left messy in the wind and the person who never needed things tidy to be happy.

  Verse 1

  Crisp packets skitter down the bench empty seats where laughter went nobody left to sweep the mess but you would call that a party's trench

  Pre-chorus

  You never minded how it scattered you just turned the mess to song so grab your coat, the night's still young

  Chorus

  Omar, light the candles, here we are raise a glass, you're the loudest star some folks shine and some folks blur but you, Omar, we see from far

  Verse 2

  Wind takes the wrapper off the seat spins it out past the parked-up car you're already dancing down the street not caring where the party's bar

  Bridge

  Every year the wind comes back every year you're still the spark so let the noise get a little loud we came here just to find you, Omar

  Chorus

  Omar, light the candles, here we are raise a glass, you're the loudest star some folks shine and some folks blur but you, Omar, we see from far

  Outro

  Let the packets blow where they may we're glad you're here, Omar, today

  Verse 1

  Grease on your knuckles, sweat on your brow You slide out from under the car Whatever is broken, you find a way You lift up whatever we are

  Pre-chorus

  Oil pools dark on the concrete ground But you keep this whole house running So let the candles light up now

  Chorus

  Omar, tonight we raise the roof Happy birthday to the reason we're strong You hold the world up like it's nothing Omar, sing it loud and long

  Verse 2

  You never ask for the credit You just show up and you stay Every year you get a little steadier We wanted to say it today

  Chorus

  Omar, tonight we raise the roof Happy birthday to the reason we're strong You hold the world up like it's nothing Omar, sing it loud and long

  Bridge

  Jack it up, let the whole house cheer Another year you carried us clear Nobody else could do what you do We're just glad it was you

  Chorus

  Omar, tonight we raise the roof Happy birthday to the reason we're strong You hold the world up like it's nothing Omar, sing it loud and long

  Outro

  Wipe your hands, the work can wait Today we're just glad you were made
