Verse 1

You walk into the classroom, morning finds its way

A little more courage in the words we try to say

You make each English sentence feel like something we can keep

And turn our smallest questions into promises to reach

Pre-Chorus

With patience in your voice, you help our hopes take flight

You make the world feel closer, one new word at a time

Chorus

Nadezhda Konstantinovna, this song is here for you

For every kind reminder and the care in all you do

You gave us more than language, you gave our dreams a start

Nadezhda Konstantinovna, you have a place in every heart

Verse 2

You notice when we're trying, even when we get it wrong

You show us how to listen, how to find where we belong

And every page of learning holds a little of your grace
