வானம்தான் கிழியுமா
வாழ்வில் நோக்கம் கொண்டவன்
தாகம் தணியுமா
மீறி வா மேலே மேலே
Will the sky ever tear open?
For one who has a clear purpose in life,
Will his deep thirst ever be quenched easily?
Break through and rise higher and higher!
சாதனை செய்தவன் எல்லாம்
சாதா மனிதனே
தேசத்தின் தலைவனும் முன்பு
யாரோ ஒருவனே
மீறி வா ஏறி வா
காரணம் ஏதும் கூற கூடாது
ஏறி வா மீறி வா

Everyone who achieved great feats
Was once just an ordinary human being.

The world will not stand and listen.
Only victory will speak!

Across every pathway in the sky,
Faith alone is all you need!

Song interpretation
This energetic motivational track serves as an anthem of resilience, drive, and self-belief. The lyrics emphasize that high achievers and great leaders were all ordinary people who chose not to make excuses or surrender midway. It reminds the listener that obstacles are temporary and that nature itself demonstrates persistence—a tiny rat can burrow through a mountain and a small bird can navigate across oceans.
