Today we stand in
The land of the golden sun
Where in each new day as the sun rises
There is promise of a better tomorrow
Today we pray may God bless India
To rise and shine with hope and a richer future
Great. glorious multicultural
Multi-lingual religious land
Where through centuries people
Have stood strong hand-in-hand
In unity saw change, progress and prosperity
Only mercy, love, hard work and God,
Can bring hope and great joy to a nation
And we pray this Independence Day
We will gain more understanding of this way
And also receive God's favor and freedom of thought
So God's Light will pierce
All shadows with His purity and Divine Light!
Today, we pray that the narrow hard walls of division
Will come crashing down
Where waves of kindness and love
Overflow so our pain and sorrows drown
In that River of Life given by God
So in tough storms and pelting rain
We can stand strong and stand to gain
So in summer, monsoon, winter and spring
May our land rejoice and sing!
Happy Independence Day 2016!
Rita
