Color, caste, religion?
The color of our blood is the same!
Color, caste, religion?
The color of our blood is the same!
Inside all life there is the same heartbeat!
Inside all bodies there are the same bones!
Why are you so obsessed with "mine vs yours"?
Why are you so obsessed with "mine vs yours"?
Why this obsession?

The rainbow highlights the beautiful separation of the colors.
The rainbow highlights the beautiful separation of the colors.
Without seven different colors, the rainbow does not exist.
Without seven different colors, the rainbow does not exist.
When we weave...

Yet, in the human form, shades and colors are shameful.
Yet, in the human form, shades and colors are shameful.
Why are you so obsessed with "black vs white"?
Why are you so obsessed with "black vs white"?
Why this obsession?

You say caste is not in our hands.
You say caste is not in our hands.
But you created the caste system and all its discrimination.
You say caste is not in our hands.
But you created the caste system and all its discrimination.
You pour milk and pray to stones,
Yet you kick the one who sculpted them.
You pour milk and pray to stones,
Yet you kick the one who sculpted them.
You say caste is not in our hands.
But you created the caste system and all its discrimination.
You pour milk and pray to stones,
Yet you kick the one who sculpted them.
Why are you so obsessed with "high vs low"?
Why are you so obsessed with "high vs low"?
Why this obsession?

Jesus, Allah, Waheguru, Deva, Adonai!
Jesus, Allah, Waheguru, Deva, Adonai!
The names may be different, but they are all one God.
Jesus, Allah, Waheguru, Deva, Adonai!
The names may be different, but they are all one God.
Love, compassion, service — all boons granted by God.
Love, compassion, service — all boons granted by God.
Yet, in your God's name, you gather armies
and drown the world in rivers of blood.
Love, compassion, service — all boons granted by God.
Yet, in your God's name, you gather armies
and drown the world in rivers of blood.
Why are you so obsessed with "God vs God"?

When you are born, why ask color, caste, or religion?
When you are born, why ask color, caste, or religion?
Color, caste, religion?
These are petty thoughts.
Color, caste, religion?
These are petty thoughts.
In nature there are no limits, oh human!
In nature there are no limits, oh human!
Free your mind of these limits, oh human!
Free yourself, oh human!

Free your mind of these limits, oh human!
Free yourself, oh human!
Free yourself, oh human!
Free yourself, oh human!
