PRAY ALONG
[CHORUS: SONIA]
Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je
Peed Paraaye Jaane Re
Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je
Peed Paraaye Jaane Re
Par Dukkhe Upkaar Kare Toye
Par Dukkhe Upkaar Kare Toye
Man Abhiman Na Anne Re
Man Abhiman Na Anne Re
[VERSE 1: PAHLAJOHNNY]
Dear God,
Please tell me what to pray for,
Can I be a better man, be a better son?
Can I quit my day job and get a better one?
Am I living life wrong?
Are we getting more than one?
Is it almost done, or has it only just begun?
Am I flawed if I wanna be rich and known?
Or because I'm attached at the hip to my phone?
still feeling all alone, am I overthinking it?
[SONIA]
Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je
Peed Paraaye Jaane Re
[PAHLAJOHNNY]
Dear God,
Has anyone before ever asked you for, a quick lesson in what we're destined for -
not to be possessed by possessions or use your name in wars they need weapons for?
Should we be the guys who defy Gravity laws -
be Equal Opposite Positive forces?
We all have similar questions,
funny thats the one thing that we ever knew for sure.
[CHORUS 2: SONIA]
Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je
Peed Paraaye Jaane Re
Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je
Peed Paraaye Jaane Re
Par Dukkhe Upkaar Kare Toye
Par Dukkhe Upkaar Kare Toye
Man Abhiman Na Anne Re
Man Abhiman Na Anne Re

We're frozen in time with an infinite mind,
we eat, sleep, see the weeks passing us by,
but the test is knowing what rest is,
how to make sense of our senses - meditate, elevate
Until prayers are the form of payment,
Levitation is our entertainment,
so when they kneel and kiss the pavement may they say we gave them
Peace, Patience and Inspirations -
and then we left with what we came with.
In the moment to be present is our very essence,
we can trade our flesh or never take another breath, and still have a presence.
The body is a vessel in the city of nine gates, and the journey that it's meant for
is prone to attacks if we ever get attached,
Bemoan what we don't own - Overreact,
Or see our leaders being led by materials,
Or they separate Science from the Spiritual.
Our inner visuals make us individuals,
a miracle's pinnacle is metaphysical.
If reality is relative, let us unite,
and if it fades to black, Let there be Light,
Dear God
[CHORUS 3: SONIA]
Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je

Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je
Peed Paraaye Jaane Re

This is for the poets who know it, and told it ages ago
Sages who wrote it on pages, not knowing where it would go,
The mystics, martyrs, crusaders and pagans bartering faith,
Evading invaders, Vedas pervaded the day.
Trading stories orally, the currency to the saints,
stored it up in the clouds, it was a memory bank,
If bread didn't break, a painter would paint,
a dance had a chance, or a chant could make them relate.
Healers traveling acres, they were mistaken for traitors,
stealing their horses, of course, the origin of their hate.
Staying awake through the night, hoping for sun in the day
to be Enlighted - the one thing that no one could take.
Humming hymns in Brooklyn, they channel the Vatican
they made it to Mumbai - no shipping and handling,
a passage to purpose putting verses in books,
words told with rhythms, maybe all ever it ever took was singing songs,
we all Pray Along with the hooks,
singing songs, we all Pray Along with the hooks
Let's sing a song, we can sing along,
and Pray Along with the hooks
that's all it ever took
singing songs, we all Pray Along with the hooks
singing songs, we all Pray Along with the hooks
Let's sing a song, we can sing along,
and Pray Along with the hooks
that's all it ever took
