Mahatma, the enlightened one,
Won a war without sword or gun.
Born in Saurashtra, a small coastal town,
This because of him achieved world renown.
A gentle human with a rare philosophy,
Left his imprint in the annals of History.
He threw back the conquerors across the seas,
By showing them the power of his inner peace.
Ahimsa, he followed and brought a bloodless revolution.
Without him our country, we would not call our nation.
His message to us is simple and clear,
If we ignore it, the price we pay is dear.
Discriminate not on creed and caste,
Stand united, be Indian first and last.
Bapu, sometimes, I dream if you were in our midst,
Wouldn't you face up to the terrorists?
Wouldn't you revamp him who smuggles and plunders?
Wouldn't you set aright our wayward leaders?
Wouldn't you today save my country?
And restore it to its ultimate glory?
Bapu, I dream a dream, will my dream come true?
Will you be born again?
MY COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!
