Speaking the language of pure love,
In the tender days of childhood,
Is this the moment the soul is truly felt?
In the lap of the banyan tree, in the shade of a tiny flower,
Is this the bond born from talking and growing close?
This is the journey that carries on without our knowing,
This is the bond etched deep within the heart, oh...
Speaking the language of pure love,
In the tender days of childhood,
Is this the moment the soul is truly felt? Oh...
In the lap of the banyan tree, in the shade of a tiny flower,
Is this the bond born from talking and growing close? Oh...
Oh... oh... oh... oh...
The bond you search for while crawling in a mother's lap,
Is this a search just to feel that motherly warmth?
Four little feet come together and share stories,
Leaving deep imprints on the heart like tracks in the sand,
This is a bond that goes beyond love...
A bond that will speak across time...
Oh, speaking the language of pure love,
In the tender days of childhood,
Is this the moment the soul is truly felt? Oh...
In the lap of the banyan tree, in the shade of a tiny flower,
Is this the bond born from talking and growing close? Oh...
