See you sitting on the ground
Splitting peas, the whole world sleeps
You’re working hard you’re working smart
In the shade of a Banyan tree
Dharti, why is it you and not me?
You know I wish that I could stick by your side
Just to be sure they’re treating you right
Dharti, I could’ve been you, you could’ve been me
So let me stay by your side
Just to be sure they’re treating you right
अब मत, अब मत जाओ
दुख आ रहा है, लेकिन
जहां भी, जहां भी तुम जाओ
मुझे आशा है कि फूल खिलेंगे
Well you don’t want to leave
They tell you you’re ready
How can you be at 17?
When no one really knows for sure
When you walk out that door
I know it’ll be the last time
I hide I can’t bear to say goodbye
Ah! Something’s strange
Now you’ve gone and packed your bag
You left the pen I gave you behind
But I heard that when you went you had some hope in your eyes
Dharti, I don’t know if you can hear me
But you come to mind everytime I’m in the aisle of frozen peas
So please, won’t you let me stay by your side, just to be sure they’re treating you right
अब मत, अब मत जाओ
दुख आ रहा है, लेकिन
जहां भी, जहां भी तुम जाओ
मुझे आशा है कि फूल खिलेंगे
Well was it all for me?
Are we parts of the same string
We keep spinning round and round
And in my voice I hear you sing
At night you learned to weave
that’s the way that you could be free
woven in tapestry
Ah! Something’s gotta change
