[Intro] Bridgeport, hear us now Belonging starts with how we show up [Verse 1] Monday night, bring your voice to the room Families shouldn't have to choose Between Eid with the ones they love And a classroom seat they can't lose A calendar mark can open a door A simple vote can say, "You belong" When a holy day arrives for our neighbors Fairness can't keep waiting this long [Pre-Chorus] No more moving the line No more asking them to fall behind [Chorus] Stand up, stand together Let every student know they're seen Eid al-Adha, make room on the calendar Make belonging more than a dream Equal treatment, equal care Bridgeport, meet us there Stand up, stand together Vote with courage, vote with fairness [Verse 2] We know the difference between welcome and words When the promise reaches the school day No child should sit an exam alone While their family marks a sacred day Don't build a maze of extra reviews For one community to navigate If the impact is small on the calendar Why make inclusion wait? [Pre-Chorus] No more delay in the name of delay The right thing is clear today [Chorus] Stand up, stand together Let every student know they're seen Eid al-Adha, make room on the calendar Make belonging more than a dream Equal treatment, equal care Bridgeport, meet us there Stand up, stand together Vote with courage, vote with fairness [Bridge] For every mother keeping faith For every father making plans For every student carrying questions Let justice rise from these hands Not a favor, not a special prize Just the same respect we all deserve Open the door, take the vote Give our children room to learn [Breakdown] Say Eid [Eid] Say belonging [Belonging] Say no more delay [No more delay] Say fairness now [Fairness now] [Final Chorus] Stand up, stand together Let every student know they're seen Eid al-Adha, make room on the calendar Make belonging more than a dream Equal treatment, equal care Bridgeport, meet us there Stand up, stand together Vote with courage, vote with fairness [Outro] Monday, we show up Monday, we speak clearly Eid al-Adha Belonging begins here
