Open your eyes and wake up India
Open your ears and hear the cries.
Let the anguish freely course through your vein
as you watch gentle decency being slowly slain.
Find the courage to finally face,
human actions so terribly base.
Open your eyes and wake up India
Open your ears and hear the cries.
And when you do,
I hope that you are flushed with red so dangerously deep,
you extinguish every flicker of forgiveness that might silently leap.
I hope that your every fiber burns indignant with humiliation,
that you no more refuse to stand for such abomination.
Open your eyes and wake up India
Open your ears and hear the cries.
