I stood there, amidst the rain Amidst the flags, amidst the words Amidst the thousands, amidst everything Wondering where the feelings are I searched it in the flags I looked for it in the words I sought for it in people Still coudn't find them I did find relief though Realising that they are not alive Because for what they fought to raise(the tricolour) Is being held by a machine The sad part is We couldn't fullfill that one promise The promise of keeping our flag raising Not by machines but by our efforts As I stepped outside and looked on the corrupted road I saw crushed flags I saw crushed hope A man buying the tricolour from a child I saw a struggling childhood, I saw a struggling independence In the midst of all this, I saw a struggling independence

STRUGGLING INDEPENDENCE
I stood there, amidst the rain Amidst the flags, amidst the words Amidst the thousands, amidst everything Wondering where the feelings are I searched it in the flags I looked for it in the words I sought for it in people Still coudn't find them I did find relief though Realising that they are not alive Because for what they fought to raise(the tricolour) Is being held by a machine The sad part is We couldn't fullfill that one promise The promise of keeping our flag raising Not by machines but by our efforts As I stepped outside and looked on the corrupted road I saw crushed flags I saw crushed hope A man buying the tricolour from a child I saw a struggling childhood, I saw a struggling independence In the midst of all this, I saw a struggling independence
On the eve of India's Independence Day
