Fight Mumbai, Fight!

The blood, the gore,
Is it going to end?
Will this city,
The fighter, the tiger,
Escape the siege,
Emerge triumphant?
Tears have been shed,
I’ve now lost count,
Innocent lives taken,
Homes shattered,
Heart’s battered,
Minds numbed,
And still we hold on,
On a string of hope.
We are the change,
Which we want to see,
We can fight
This farce, end it all.
This is our city,
Our Mumbai, our life,
She’s done so much,
For you, for me, for us,
It’s time to repay,
What she’s done for us,
And save her from her death.
The terror’s here,
Hiding around the corner,
Afraid to come out,
In broad daylight,
Cowards, inhuman cowards,
Cowards that we vow to fight.
Can you hear the wails
Of the little child over there?
Can you here it drown?
In the sea
Of gunshots and grenades.
She was someone’s mother,
She was someone’s friend,
She was someone’s daughter,
But now she’s dead,
Pay homage, respect her,
Fight for the blood spilt,
Make them pay for every tear,
For every single minute of fear,
Fight Mumbai, fight!
