Rejoicing on the melodies of my song,
I realised standing on my toe, I’m strong,
With all the happiness I want to play along,
Where not a single thing goes wrong.
A smile on the face,
Thinking that now everything is in its place,
I want to feel the breeze of upcoming race,
In which I know I am going to be in first place.
Now no one can leave me alone,
Because now I know how to sing my tone,
Without in fear of bringing a cyclone,
Knowing that I can act as an outgrown.
Now I have realised I’m someone owing in this creation,
And no one can leave me with abrogation,
I know I can stand on my own ramification,
May be then I will be on top of this whole nation.
With no one by my side,
With whom I may collide,
After all I cannot be denied,
To act as my own preside.
