They hang the flags, head held high,
they paint it on their faces.
They tell you they all love her so,
They tell you they'l die for her.
Dancing and signing, they pass you by,
You stand and watch, on your face a grim smile.
They dance today, not tomorrow,
the love present only in their sorrow.
They raise it high, they raise it proud,
swinging it, they march together in large crowds.
You look at them, so close to each other, so kind,
Look closer, the anger, the greed you'l find.
60 Years of a country free,
60 Years of faking it be.
You look at them, and you know,
they cant fight, they have no will.
They lie to themselves, they make believe,
they look in the mirror, and a fractured man they see.
Standing there you look at them,
Silenty you slip away from them.
They'l live the lie,
they'l die in it.
Even a 100 years, couldnt free her of them,
They live for money, die for it.
You want to save her from their hands,
to let her be free again.
Yet you know, theres nothing you can do,
They'l sell her soul, they'l kill you too.
Walking silently into the night,
you cry for her dying soul.
You lift your eyes and pray to him,
Let her live, just once again.

I am sick n tired of whiners who complain that nothing can be done!!
Somehow this 2 lines keeps repeating in my mind..
Ours is not to reason why..
Ours is to do n die!!
Yeah! I mean for every 10 whiners there is one deligent worker who is making things work.. working against everything for the love of his life.. his country!!!
Its upto you.. do u wanna be in 90% who says nothing can eb done.. or those 5% who think they can change the world.. if only they try enough.. if not successful they will die trying!!!
And in the meanwhile... they would have influenced atleast 5 more ppl to take their place!!!
soemthing like...
Karchale hum fida.. jaan aur tan saathiyon... ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon!
im in the other 5%
The ones who r already doing it........ ;)
