Oh my, everyone
is being called!
Come running, come running!
Thousands and thousands of years ago,
the human race began.
Thousands and thousands of years ago,
the human race began.
The human race began.
The human race began.
The human race began.
Love, affection, and bonds of family—
that is what humankind asked of God.
Love, affection, and bonds of family—
that is what humankind asked of God.
As mother, father, and child,
He gave them all to humankind.
Thousands and thousands of years ago,
the human race began.
If you take good care of the body,
you will grow in age with each passing day.
If your mind grows with goodness and discipline,
peace will be found in this world.
The body is a temple,
and the soul within is God.
Just as mother and father guide us,
Female: because you and I obey,
Female: joy will flourish through our precious children.
Female: Life has everything to give!
Both: Hey hey hey hey
Thousands and thousands of years ago,
the human race began.
Aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa

Waiting here for Krishna
is Yashoda.
Waiting here for Murugan
is the Mother.
Waiting here for Sri Rama
is Sita too.
Walking little feet and lively, eager eyes,
do come over here!
What you learn at the age of six
will stay with you till you are sixty.
Surrounding yourself with the right companions
will bring you honor and great respect.
Read the books written by the wise,
and choose your friends with care.
Coconuts grow upon the coconut tree,
Female: bananas grow upon the banana plant,
Female: we children take after our mother,
Both: and we will grow up just like our father tomorrow!
Hey hey hey hey
Thousands and thousands of years ago,
the human race began.
With the turning of time, God granted
the beloved hero of my eyes.
In His boundless mercy, He blessed us once more
with sweet, loving children.
To flourish day after day like a banyan tree,
He will bless our lives.
Seeking your mother, singing with delight,
come here, dear children!
Thousands and thousands of years ago,
the human race began.
The human race began.
The human race began.

The song emphasizes the sanctity of the human form and mind, framing the body as a temple housing the divine mind. It urges children to learn good virtues early, pick wise companions, read uplifting literature, and respect parental guidance so that family joy and societal peace can flourish for generations.
