"Aaradhna" lyrics
In between 2 worlds sits a precious space that is her temple
Laying beneath dreams
And held by the roots of the mango tree
She can hear the sun calling for her
Where is she? Where is she?
Let go of the darkness so you can dwell with me
She only 3 feet away rooted down standing upright
A lotus sprouting through concrete grounds
What are you afraid of?
Why you not come dance and bask in this glorious light?
Do you not long for the warmth and praise?
Let go of the darkness so you can dwell with me
"Sweet Surrender", a sweet surrender
Your shadow so tall, so wide, so heavy with pride
Do you feel free?
Get out from under the midnight river
For you might wash away
Might forget your name
You might even forget that you had something to say
Come, seize the day
Take my hand and I will lead the way
Finally she speaks, and though her voice shakes
There's an unwavering faith weaving through like flax
And for a moment
Time
Slows
Down
You don't understand
Everywhere I go, she is sure to follow
She walks to the jingle of the ghungaroos wrapped around my feet
She hears when I cry
And she knows when I lie
She echoes every single word hidden in my mind
I can't leave, I can't leave
She holds the essence of my mother's eyes
I can't leave, I can't leave
She even smells like her
Satya, amla and coconut oil
She's never afraid to walk alone
She doesn't need to be held
She is never scared, she gives me strength, strength
I can't leave her behind, I won't ever leave her behind
She carries the pain, tears, the struggle, the struggle
The dreams, mana, the spirit from all those that have come before her
She carries a story
She carries many, many, many, many, stories
She's the little girl that wrestled with the Buffaloes
She entertained the snakes
Playing in the tall grass
She pushed me and I fell to my knees
I stayed down and I weeped till my waters covered the land
Then she picked me up and carried me
Now I carry her
For as long as I am here, for as long as I am here
I am here
And with every stride a sweet nectar liquifies
From the tips of my toes to the dips of my hips
Milk and honey drips bit by bit
You think, what is this?
It's everything
It's the salt of the sea
Ocean waters drink deep
When I go under, she holds breath for me
Don't you see the mountains, the valleys
All in the shape of SHE
Laying beneath dreams
And held by the roots of the mango tree
She can hear the sun calling for her
Where is she? Where is she?
Let go of the darkness so you can dwell with me
She only 3 feet away rooted down standing upright
A lotus sprouting through concrete grounds
What are you afraid of?
Why you not come dance and bask in this glorious light?
Do you not long for the warmth and praise?
Let go of the darkness so you can dwell with me
"Sweet Surrender", a sweet surrender
Your shadow so tall, so wide, so heavy with pride
Do you feel free?
Get out from under the midnight river
For you might wash away
Might forget your name
You might even forget that you had something to say
Come, seize the day
Take my hand and I will lead the way
Finally she speaks, and though her voice shakes
There's an unwavering faith weaving through like flax
And for a moment
Time
Slows

You don't understand
Everywhere I go, she is sure to follow
She walks to the jingle of the ghungaroos wrapped around my feet
She hears when I cry
And she knows when I lie

She holds the essence of my mother's eyes
I can't leave, I can't leave
She even smells like her

She's never afraid to walk alone

She is never scared, she gives me strength, strength
I can't leave her behind, I won't ever leave her behind
