[Verse 1]
He was born with a crowded sky at the top of his world,
Every feeling he carried became the flag he unfurled,
The kind of man whose quiet word lands heavier than most,
Who showed up for the ones he loved and never thought to boast,
He kept the conversations going, sharp as a new thought,
Protecting what he treasured most from everything he'd fought,

[PreChorus]
The depth he found in hard-won years was never luck alone,
What looked like ordinary life was steel beneath the bone,

[Chorus]
Bob, the sky above your London birth still knows your name,
Every road you walked through has been leading to this claim,
You were built for more than you were given room to show,
Bob, the man who held it all — it's time to let that glory glow,

[Verse 2]
He filed the things he couldn't say behind a steady face,
Kept a circle small and loyal, didn't need the crowded place,
There's a dreamer living just below the practical and planned,
Who turned his visions into blueprints nobody else had scanned,
He argued for the things he loved with everything he had,
And every question that he chased became the gift he gave,

[PreChorus]
The way he loves is careful, tending embers through the years,
A home built from remembered moments, not from borrowed fears,

[Chorus]
Bob, the city where you drew first breath still hums your song,
You carried what a quieter man might not have held so long,
The ones who knew you closest felt the current underneath,
Bob, all that force that shaped your days — it was yours to keep,

[Bridge]
There's a shift now in the hours, something settling into place,
All the hardship that he mastered wearing a familiar face,
The ledger of his living starts to balance, line by line,
What he spent his whole life building — turning out to shine,

[Verse 3]
He made his mark without announcing it or asking if he could,
Carried generations forward the way a steady father would,
His wit was always quickest when the room needed lifting most,
His heart the loudest instrument behind the quietest host,
Now the hours open wider and the weight begins to clear,
And every star that watched him growing leans a little near,

[PreChorus]
He doesn't need a monument, his story speaks itself,
Each hand he held, each door he opened — nothing left on shelf,

[Chorus]
Bob, the whole of who you are was written from the start,
Every twist of fate that shaped you ran straight through your heart,
No one built the way you're built could ever go unsung,
Bob, this anthem's always been yours — it was yours when you were young,

[Outro]
Bob, the sky still holds your name up in the evening air,
Everything you gave this world — it's glowing, it's still there,
