Samanyan Lakshminarayanan - IT'S UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

how could i speak their languages
how could i..she asks her dad
what about mine?
how could i speak a different
language at places different
what about mine?

i flow from east to west
i flow from north to south
they expect me to speak their languages
what about mine?
they don't even respect me..fight over me
i too am branded and sold in their market

you are married to earth...my dear
you have vapourised and come here-as guest
you should go back as rain
you should'nt put your in-laws in strain
the father convinces the daughter...WATER and
she comes back as rain

a resource well within man's control
a resource we have given all barriers
'language' the latest we have added
we fight over it like warriors..
.a disgusted resource it has become
a language of its own it does have.
.a universal one......
in which it wants to sing as it runs.
