Annaandhu paar

Look up at the sky
There are stars in your eyes
Look deep within
Life itself is an illusion
If you feel useless, become a seed
If asked why, become the answer
If it is about "I", become "we" and share yourself
Even with betrayal
Even with fate against you
Do not paint lies over your truthful eyes
Even through thorns
Even through sharp stones
Along the path your feet walk
Do not lose your way
Where is a relationship without burdens?
Go search and see
Is there a tomorrow without sorrow?
Celebrate today
If met with hatred, turn cool like mist
If met with hardship, become a fresh spring
If surrounded by darkness, become a flame and dance
Look up at the sky
There are stars in your eyes
Become a flower
Tomorrow is never promised
Spread your fragrance now
Become wings
The sky has no limits
Brush past the clouds
Where is motherhood without pain?
Go search and see
Is there a boat that never faced a storm?
Keep fighting on
If there is pain, become a comforting lap
If there is fear, stand tall like a flag
If you stumble, stay true to righteousness
Look up at the sky
There are stars in your eyes
Look deep within
Life itself is an illusion
