RAFI, ASHA, CHORUS - Na Bhanwara Na Koi Gul lyrics

Once a part of the ruling elite

Now just second class

All those things they promised me

Now have come to pass

I feel like I missed a train or watched it go right by

Now I wish for one more chance one more shot at life

Oh, I'm a deadman

I've heard of liberation and deliverance

But I've never felt no chains sitting up on the fence

I used to be afraid of dying

Now I realize dying was the easiest part

Now I'm afraid of time

Careful to watch for the man

Who shows no dignity

Come with a scheme and a plan

Came to persecute me

I lay my soul among lions

Their tongues are sharper than swords

To speak they breathe forth fire

And got me pinned to the floor
