Nee neeyaaga iruppadhil illai pizhai
Nee kelvi kuri endraal yaar ingae vidai
Indha pooviyinilae yaaridam illai kurai
Unarvugal unarchigal soozhnilai karumsirai
Karai serum varai oyavillai andha alai
Yetra thaazhvu enbathellaam oru mana nilai
Break free from that karapanai tharum thirai
Ellorum nam sondham yedhaartham indha nilai
Puriyudha uraikudha
Unmaigal unakku theriyudha
Patharudha varundhudha
Ennangal sindhaigal udaiyudha…
Level it up bedhangal udaindhu
Manidham nammullae kalandhu
Light it up pagaiyai thurandhu
Siragai virithu parandhu
Aattam ellaam konjam kaalam
Koottam ellaam vandhu pogum
Thedal kooda oyindhu pogum
Edhuthaan inga nirandhiram
Aattam ellaam konjam kaalam
Koottam ellaam vandhu pogum
Thedal kooda oyindhu pogum
Edhuthaan inga nirandhiram

There is nothing wrong in just being yourself
If you are a question mark, who here is the answer?
Who on this earth is without flaws?
Feelings, emotions, and circumstances are a dark prison
The wave never rests until it reaches the shore
Highs and lows are merely states of mind
Break free from that illusionary screen
Everyone is our own kin; that is the true reality
Do you understand? Does it sink in?
Can you see the truth?
Does your heart tremble? Does it ache with regret?
Are your thoughts and beliefs breaking down?
Level it up, breaking all divisions
Letting humanity blend within us
Light it up, letting go of hatred
Spread your wings and take flight
Every game lasts only a short while
Crowds will come and go
Even the search will fade away
What is truly permanent here?
Every game lasts only a short while
Crowds will come and go
Even the search will fade away
What is truly permanent here?
Why do we forget to feel oneness?
Why do we stand here losing our patience?
Why do we waste our lives in emptiness?
Why hasn't the poverty line vanished?
Why are there separate nations and divisions?
Why do weapons rule the world?
Why does humanity forget to wake up?
Why has freedom become mere talk?
Everything that a tiny spark of fire created...
...we turned into civilization
Reaching past the skies and digging through the earth,
We have ended up provoking nature
Will not all the outcomes of greed
Surge up like a massive tidal wave?
Because of this human race,
Won't the entire world perish?
Why did we celebrate lies?
Why did we hesitate to love?
We boast with foolish pride,
Yet where are we truly heading?
We kept complaining about flaws
We hesitated to raise our voice
Closing our eyes, shutting our mouths, and blocking our ears,
We just continue to live our lives
Don't lose your senses, stoop low, act wild, make excuses, and whine
Lead the way, instead of just nodding like a statue and agreeing to everything
Don't spread like a virus through anger, betrayal, and malice
Don't lose your head in lust, get beaten down, and collapse in addiction
Like a daring little fish
That resolves to swim against the tide,
Like a brave bird flapping its wings
In the midst of a howling cyclone,
Like a sturdy tree withstanding
The ferocious force of a storm,
Like an unyielding mountain
Unshaken even by an earthquake...
When darkness surrounds you in this world,
Walk towards the light shining within you
Many unsteady reflections appear in the mirror before you
Aim for the skies and push ahead, no matter what hurdles come your way
Turn your shortcomings into strengths and stride ahead like a champion
Who is wise and who is a fool? The one who lives with good sense is the true pioneer
Don't sit around confused and lamenting
Don't let overflowing tears put out your inner fire
Do not lose heart, do not panic
Do not turn into a cold, lifeless stone statue...
Why did we celebrate lies?
Why did we hesitate to love?
We boast with foolish pride,
Yet where are we truly heading?
We kept complaining about flaws
We hesitated to raise our voice
Closing our eyes, shutting our mouths, and blocking our ears,
We just continue to live our lives
Don't lose your senses, stoop low, act wild, make excuses, and whine
Lead the way, instead of just nodding like a statue and agreeing to everything
Don't spread like a virus through anger, betrayal, and malice
Don't lose your head in lust, get beaten down, and collapse in addiction
