  Verse 1

  Boots got kicked off at the door Mud all over the wooden floor Nobody cares, the fiddle's calling We came here just for you, Zuri

  Pre-chorus

  Someone's tuning up the banjo Someone's pouring out the cider Feet are itching, hearts are lifting

  Chorus

  Zuri, light up like the glory Everybody's got a story Bout the day that you came round here You're the reason for the party

  Verse 2

  Pile of boots against the shed Every colour, brown and red Whole yard's dancing in their socks Cause you called us out here, Zuri

  Bridge

  Clap your hands and spin around Holler loud, don't make a sound This whole crowd showed up for you Nothing here we'd rather do

  Chorus

  Zuri, light up like the glory Everybody's got a story Bout the day that you came round here You're the reason for the party

  Outro

  Boots'll dry out by the shed We'll remember what you said

  Verse 1

  Boxes stacked up by the green door paper scraps blow round our feet but none of this is why we're smiling you're the one who makes it sweet

  Pre-chorus

  Something's coming, hold the feeling hearts are beating, watch the door this is the moment we've been building

  Chorus

  Zuri, open up your story today the whole world sings for you Zuri, this is all your glory every single wish comes true

  Verse 2

  You turn ribbon into laughter torn up paper into cheer every gift feels bigger somehow just because you're standing here

  Bridge

  Another year, another chapter written you carry us like we carry you light as paper, strong as cardboard holding all this love that's true

  Chorus

  Zuri, open up your story today the whole world sings for you Zuri, this is all your glory every single wish comes true

  Outro

  Long after the boxes empty you're the gift we're glad we knew

  Verse 1

  We dragged the crate up all those stairs just to toast you under open air every bottle rings a different tone but nothing sounds right till you're home

  Chorus

  Zuri, light the rooftop up tonight clinking glass and gravel underneath two candles worth of noise and cheer we're glad another year brought you here

  Verse 2

  You laugh and somehow the night gets loud you lift a room without even trying now every glass we raise is aimed your way so stay right here, don't rush the day

  Pre-chorus

  Count the bottles, count the years somebody's shouting, somebody cheers hold that glass up, here it comes

  Chorus

  Zuri, light the rooftop up tonight clinking glass and gravel underneath two candles worth of noise and cheer we're glad another year brought you here

  Bridge

  No fancy hall, just crate and sky but you're the reason we came up this high the city hums below us small and far tonight you're brighter than any star

  Chorus

  Zuri, light the rooftop up tonight clinking glass and gravel underneath two candles worth of noise and cheer we're glad another year brought you here

  Outro

  The bottles settle, quiet now, in their crate but we're still glad we climbed for you tonight
