If You are Out There

John Legend captures the theme of Obama generation -



If you hear this message, wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman, calling every man
We're the generation
We can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday and we're already late

We've been looking for a song to sing
Searched for a melody
Searched for someone to lead
We've been looking for the world to change
If you feel the same
Then go on and say

If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now
Now, now

No more broken promises
No more call to war
Unless it's love and peace that we're really fighting for
We can destroy hunger
We can conquer hate
Put down the arms and raise your voice
We're joining hands today

Oh I was looking for a song to sing
I searched for a leader
But the leader was me
We were looking for the world to change
We can be heroes
Just go on and say

If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now
Now, now

Oh now, now

If you're ready we can shake the world
Believe again
It starts within
We don't have to wait for destiny
We should be the change that we want to see

If you're out there
Ooooh
If you're out there
And you're ready now
Say it loud
Scream it out

If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now

If you're out there
If you're out there
If you're out there

If you hear this message, wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman, calling every man
We're the generation
We can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday and we're already late

Dard ko ab mashaal kare.

Mumbai –
Ye jo abhi haal tak jadu ka nagar tha.
Ab Maatam ka shahar hai.

Kuchh napunsak safed libaas wale,
jinke daaman mai khoon sabse lal lagna chahiye,
phir apni hijri zubaan hilate nazar aa rahe hai.

Ye vahi hai jo haath jhod ke aapka vote mangenge,
Aur phir besharmon ki tarah,
haath baandhe aapke maatam mai shaamil ho jaynege.

yun lagta hain
jaise aap vote nahi, maatam-nama de rahe ho..

Magar gaur se dekhe to,
Kya ye safed kapde
hamare safed khoon ki jhalak nahi hai?

Napunsak to hum sabhi hai.
Jo ek faulad ki aulad nahi paida kar paaye.
Ilzaam to hamare safed khoon pe hai,
Jo lal hoke bhi lal nahi hai.
Jisme vo ubaal nahi hai.
Jisme vo faulad nahi hai.
tabhi to vo aulad nahi hai !!

Isase pahle ke
ye khoon aur safed pade.
aur phir kai masoom,
goliyo ki bhait chade !!

Aao ke apne khoon ko lal kare
Taki aage vo khayal kare !!

Daag bhale hi meet jata ho,
Aao Dard ko ab mashaal kare !!
