Bapu Taught Us
Someone in the old pages of history
Taught us to be fearless for rights.
A man called Mahatma Gandhi,
With the power of love, enough to ignite.
That man proclaimed forgiveness
To be an attribute of the strong.
Not to hate the sinner
But to deny what is wrong.
Permanent good can never be
The outcome of untruth and violence.
Sometimes it's the pain and suffering
That unstitches the victory in silence.
When it comes to defending humanity
And the world seems quite big to shake.
You just need to be a radical,
To see a universal change.
Wisdom is not when we divide
It's when we divide, we fall.
In unity, we lie safe
Safety for one and all.
Bapu left some pathways for all,
To keep our spirits high.
Let us crown this glorious soul
And let us raise a joyful cry!
