[Intro]
Ooh, a candle glow, a warm hello
Tonight we raise our voices slow
[Verse 1]
Hey Kuti, the days click by like stamps in a book
Still your laughter rings in every corner of our nook
We toast to you, a traveler with a steady heart
Today we sing your name, a cheerful kind of art
[Pre-Chorus]
Another year, another page in the light
We gather close and hold you tight
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Kuti, may your skies stay bright
May every wish you whisper come to be in sight
Happy birthday, Kuti, with friends around you near
We sing this little chorus loud for you, my dear
[Verse 2]
Your stories color mornings when the coffee starts to steam
You chase the ordinary, turning it into dream
If laughter is a lantern, you always light the way
So here’s to you today, and all the joy you’ll raise
[Pre-Chorus]
Another year, another blessing on the breeze
We celebrate your spirit with simple harmonies
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Kuti, may your skies stay bright
May every wish you whisper come to be in sight
Happy birthday, Kuti, with friends around you near
We sing this little chorus loud for you, my dear
[Bridge]
Let the candles glow like stars in a friendly night
Let our voices warm your heart and set it alight
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Kuti, may your skies stay bright
May every wish you whisper come to be in sight
Happy birthday, Kuti, with friends around you near
We sing this little chorus loud for you, my dear
[Outro]
Blow them softly, make a wish so true
Kuti, today is yours—happy birthday to you
