Ahmed, Rise and Shine
Style: Gospel celebration

[Verse 1]
Fog was thick on the window glass
Riding home in the back that night
You traced a heart with your thumb
And the whole bus filled with light

[Pre-chorus]
Every year you keep on giving
Warmth that spreads through frozen rooms
Now it's time we start the lifting

[Chorus]
Ahmed, stand up, let it be said
This is your day, wear the crown
Clap your hands, Ahmed, lift your head
We are so glad you're around

[Verse 2]
You held doors when no one asked you
Carried tired hearts to bed
Never counted what it cost you
You just showed up, and you led

[Bridge]
So let the whole room sing it loud
Let every voice come find you here
Nothing about you goes unnoticed
Not on this day, not on any year

[Chorus]
Ahmed, stand up, let it be said
This is your day, wear the crown
Clap your hands, Ahmed, lift your head
We are so glad you're around

[Outro]
The glass has cleared, the road rolls on
We're glad it brought us here, to you
