Old Powai roads, take me home

Powai roads, take me home
To the place I belong,
Take me home, powai roads

I hear her voice
In the morning hour she calls me

The radio reminds me of my home far away
And riding down the cycle I get a feeling
That I should have been in H4 yesterday, yesterday.

For rains and her - Wild life hero

2005-02-09T00:04:00.000-08:00

Wild life hero -- For rains and her.

Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a bus, it was an all out bandh
Heard the roar of the crows, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant stream

He heard one drongo, just flew him away
He saw birds in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beat up binocs in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to use it, but he knew for sure

That one binocs, felt good in his hands
Didn't take long, to understand
Just one binocs, slung way down low
Was one way ticket, only one way to go

So he started trekking
Ain't never gonna stop
Gotta name the birds
Someday he's gonna make it to the top

And be a tree planting hero, got birds in his eyes
He's a wild life hero
He took one sip the tea,
he's a wild life hero, mynas in his eyes
wild life hero, he'll come alive tonight
with a kingfisher by his side

In a meadow without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, in kol dongri
gripped a bull by the horns to powai lake,
Like a trip through the class, to that day in the rain
And that one drongo made his whole life change

Now he needs to keep watching birds
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on trekking
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a wild life hero, got trees in his eyes
He's a real life zero, got stars in his eyes
Yeah, soap box hero, got sap in his eyes
With just one calci he'll come alive
on the night of end sems, yeah
Come alive tonight

Yeah, he's gotta keep trekking
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on climbing
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a lunch box hero, got vadas in his knapsack
He's a wild life hero, got butterflies in his eyes
Just one sapling on the hill, put jezebels in his eyes
He's just a tree hugging hero, aah aah aah
just another Kol dongri hero,
wild life hero, he's got birds in his eyes
he has swum with crocs in vihar lake.
