Give me a land free to stray,
A land where discrimination would no longer stay,
Give me real freedom,
A freedom equal and free for all,
Give me sky where I can fly,
A flight of happiness,a fly really high.
Give me roads not beautiful and wide,
But atleast where I can walk safely at night,
Give me a culture which is well cultured,
Where every dream of mine is equally nurtured,
Give me a family which is familiar,
A family to which I am equally dear,
Give me, if you can, a workplace,
A place with a provision for equal pays,
Give me security which is secure,
For acid attacks have no reviving cure,
Gift me a world of good men,
If you want mankind to suffer no pain!
