My Song

Amidst the music of the days I was lost as a song And Life seemed to be awfully long Dancing to the tunes of the globe Thought I was being right always wrong And Life seemed to be awfully long Lost as a song.. Seeking shelter from the rain I missed the rainbow Closed the doors as joyous raindrops came knocking upto me The saplings climbed up on the staircase of the blue sky But the ladder of success was all that I could see On the rocky road I could have walked a mile In this bargain my friends I lost my smile In the music of life lost as a song Life seems to be awfully long..

Who has the answer? What is holy, what is not; Forgive me I know not. But, I see right from wrong. In either black or white, We do not belong. Neither are we brands to be labelled as a caste.
