When the fire’s burning
And the tempers are raging
When the shots are ringing
And your nerves are tingling
You look, you hear, you feel
A countless helpless faces you see
Scared, angry, distressed
Political issues should be addressed
The war keeps raging on and on
You want to know where you belong
You don’t want to run or hide
Or do any wrong, know the right
This is the time to do
Stand up and face the truth
There’s purpose in your action
And you feel the motivation
But once the battle is done
You feel that you have won
And the candles just melt away
Only the faint memories stay
Let’s do more than just blame
Take a step, be part of the game
Fight it out to make amends
Till the time all terror ends
(with reference to the terror attacks in Mumbai on 26.11.08)
