“I hear revolution music”

“I hear revolution music”
By: Jasdeep Singh (TO)


I hear Horse hooves poundin
I hear Nagara’s soundin
I hear arrows deliverin
I hear tyrants quiverin
I hear kirpans blessin
I hear sinners confessin

I hear Jakara’s thundering
Gajj ke jakara gajavey fateh pavey Gur Kalgidhar Mann nu pavey nihal ho javey
SAT SRI AKAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL

I hear the percussion of prayer
I hear the Strings and bows and arrows
I hear soldiers marching in rows
I hear armies making inroads

I hear revolution music

Khalsa ji flank to the right
Khalsa ji flank to the left
I hear maestro’s orchestrating
If you don’t win this battle,
There won’t be nothing left

I hear revolution music

I hear beds being made
With petals on the floor
I hear candles being lit
With lovers by the door
Waiting for their lover to come home
and love’em some more

I hear the sound of Aurengzeb’s fear drenched sweat
I hear the sound of Massa Rangar’s thumpin head
I hear the Sound of Abdali’s running in the night
I hear the sound of Hindu bibian praying for a Knight
I hear the Sound of O’Dwyer getting cold
I hear the Sound of Nirankari baba’s never getting the chance to grow old

I hear “physical death I do not fear, but death of conscious is a sure death”
I hear Mrs. Ghandi breathing her last breath
cuz

True lions will defend when you start attackin ‘em
That’s why two lions put 7 bullets in mrs. Gandhi’s abdomen


I hear baby’s crying in mannu’s jails
But
I don’t hear any crying on the road to jaito

I hear British Trains stopping on slippery rails
I hear drunken elephants showing their tails


I hear Bhai Gurdas writing
I hear Bibi Amro Singing

I hear Bhag Kaur Mata Insulting
I hear Dalair Kaur hunting

I hear Baba Deep Singh Walking
I hear Both Halfs of Bhai Mati Das talking
I hear brick walls being built
I hear two sons laughing

I hear fortress doors being opened
I hear two sons walking out
I hear 4 pots being broken

I hear a badava being written
I hear a badava being torn

I hear my father’s bleeding feet
Bleeding from the thorns and the rocks
That he walked
On
That night in the jungle


I hear revolution music

I hear 960 million
And then…

I hear Tank treads poundin
I hear Nagara’s soundin
I hear bullets deliverin
I hear tyrants quivering
I still hear Kirpans blessin
I still hear sinners confessing

I hear Jakara’s thundering

Gajj ke jakara gajavey fateh pavey Gur Kalgidhar Mann nu pavey Nihal ho javey
SAT SRI AKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL

I hear
Raj Karega Khalsa


vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh
