Somewhere I Grew Up
Amidst the people I knew,
Those who had pains to go through
Jumping from exams to exams,
Not able to retrieve the horrid pangs
They slept with algebra clan,
And saw the morning light with geometry gang
But still between my ivory towers
Somewhere I grew up
When I first glanced at my folks,
They had a look of a ghost
As if they are gonna make my toast
With thou names of medicos and scientist
I was amongst all the survivalists
But still between my ivory towers,
Somewhere I grew up
I saw them, I saw me,I saw everyone chanting
And not the hymns but the digits subtracting
ten minus one ten multiplied by ten,
All the equations so underwhelmed
But still between my ivory towers,
Somewhere I grew up
I got out of my school with a heroic face,
But my folks wanted an another race
So tired and depleted was I,
But they wanted a techie samurai
Thus, I the poor soul,
Was shanghaied to a stupid pigeon hole
But still between my ivory towers,
Somewhere I grew up
Thus the day will come when I will get out,
After spending six years completely moused
From electrical to management all I learned
With my brain completely burnt,
But now as I slowly move up,
I tell you my dear allies
Never give up the ghosts,
Cos the dreams are yours that you are gonna live
Because it's your life and only you can solemnize,
And hence between all my ivory towers,
Somewhere I finally grew up.
