The little girl inside me

Keep the light on and open up the door
You still have to live, I still need you around.
I sometimes don't see you and feel I've lost you
Even though you are stronger, far braver than I am
So keep the light on and open up the door.

Let me hear you sometimes, let me see that smile
I need it to keep mine going, I need it to survive
Stay with me awhile or as long as I have time
I know I wonder ,I wonder when I should be sure
Just keep the light on and open up the door

Skip, hop, jump up to me, fly, glide, just run to me
I need you so much more, I need you so much more
Don't hide behind the door, don't lock it no more
The walls already are, so thick and so many more
So keep the light on and open up the door

The Cry

Wrenches open the heartstrings
Tugs at the ripped seams
Lays bare the furrowed wound ends
Strums long at the nerve ends

Moves me along the walkway
Keeps me within the ranks
I stay part of the rat race
I stay part of the commune

Makes the morning turn into warm afternoons
The evening shines along with the night song
My nine to five gets carried smoothly
My party style stays sharp and smooth

And all with my most painful cry
All with just a smile

Some nails and a hammer

Hold that nail right in the middle, take a hammer
hit my heart and then you hit it again
And you think it wont hurt so you hit and then you hit again
And time would go on and seasons would pass
And you never fail to hit and you hit it again


The first sign of a smile and the hammer comes down hard
And you hit and then you hit it again
The first sign of some hope, some light, some delight
And you hit and then you hit it again
And you think it wont hurt so you hit and then you hit it again


The first sign of some life and the hammer comes down hard
And you hit and then you hit it again
The first sign of some pulse, some flicker and turn
And you hit and then you hit it again
And you think it wont hurt so you hit and then you hit it again

Keh kuch tha hi nahi

Chuuo tau jaan nahi
Kaato tau lahu nahi
Dekho tau harkat nahi
Saath mein shirkat bhi nahi
Samjho tau hosh nahi
Poocho tau main hoon hi nahi

Kadam chal rahe hain
Aik ke baad aik
Dekho tau simmat nahi
Jaano tau himmat nahi
Roko tau rukte bhi nahi
Poocho tau uthe hi nahi

Baat ho rahi hai
Aik ke baad aik
Suno tau sar per nahi
Socho tau suragh nahi
Jaano tau kuch hai hi nahi
Poocho tau koi nikli hi nahi

Muskurahat bhi chal rahi hai
Aik ke baad aik
Dekho tau jaan nahi
Socho tau matlab bhi nahi
Jaano tau aas nahi
Poocho tau woh thi hi nahi

Waqt ja raha hai
Aik ke baad aik
Socho tau samajh mein nahi
Jaano tau bacha hi nahi
Roko tau rukta hi nahi
Poocho tau kya kabhi tha hi nahi

Where else but....

There was that road that somebody had walked
Their feet creating a steepness left behind
A cliff that hung too precariously
With a sheet of freezing water that covers too well
Then there was that mountain I had slipped down
going beyond valleys and gorges unseen

That desert you know lay not that far beyond
Where the sand still flew, enveloping till eternity
Which knows how still to blind and fool all senses
But the oasis has stayed dry ever since
waiting and waiting and I wonder why
The clouds long poured out all that they had

No plains, no lushness, the greenness so evasive
The rainbow too fell ages ago
colour by colour, sinking and sinking
And left there are just the forsaken, some forlorn rocks
who know not what to do with themselves anymore
Where but in my heart, all of this but in my heart

Ab is ummar

Kankaron mein khoje hain moti tamam ummar
Rait ke zarre ki manand khoee hai tamam ummar


Nikli hai beech unglion ki poroon se yaas o aas.
Behti rahi ret ke saath main bhi tamam ummar


Pohonchi sagar ki teh mein ab kismat tau shayed
Sanwarein zarre, manande moti ab is ummar

Ke ayee hai barish phir kuch is tarah se

Ke ayee hai barish phir kuch is tarah se
Ruuh pe gire hain qatre
Bheega hai dil bhi phir se
Patte udey naye purane
tooteen theen jinke bojh se shakhein
Ke ayee hai barish phir kuch is tarah se
Hawa bhi khanjar sa hai thamay
Ke jaise ghao bhar se gaya ho
Ukhadte pair phir bhi kuch hain chalte
dawa bhi zeher si jaise hai samayee
Ke ayee hai barish phir kuch is tarah se
Hua hai aasman kuch ziada gehra
Hain badal bhi aur surmaee
Goonjti hai sunsanahat phir ziada
ke jaise khamoshi toot gaye ho

Ke ayee hai barish phir kuch is tarah se
