Struggles
I'll raise on Ode for you
Oh struggling strength of prime
In the far southside of Asia
In the bustling crowd of your kind
In the midst of social rivalry
Your neck sticks out well up high
I'll sing an ode for you
Oh struggling strength of prime
For each and everyday you strive
To create for yourself a life
With little before you, and untold against you
You'd never take a hopeless bow
I'll chant an ode for you
Oh trembling strength of prime
Against the turbulent strength of norms,
That shortens the sight of visions;
You stirred up the hornet's nest
And burnt your bridges amidst friction
I'll roar an ode to you
Oh enthralling strength of prime
You have showed the world a beautiful story
Of courage, faith and love sublime
And now they clearly see the glory
Of the true tale of mother Indian's prime
~ Struggles
