Every Sunday morning in front of the TV
|
Recording with a microphone Naya Zindagi
|
Pioneer Gurdas Maan
|
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
|
Kept our parents alive
|
Gave them the will to survive
|
Working inna de factories
|
Sometimes sweeping de floor
|
Unsung heroines an heroes
|
Yes they open de door
|
They came a long time ago
|
But now it seems we've arrived
|
Naya Zindagi! Naya Jeevan
|
New Way New Life
|
|
Stayed an we fought an now de future's open wide
|
New Way New Life
|
Naya Zindagi! Naya Zindagi!
|
New Way New Life
|
Naya Zindagi! Naya Jeevan
|
|
Tjinder pon de radio
|
Dis is England's new voice
|
Censorship for years
|
But now dem have no choice
|
Running thru de playground
|
We could never have known
|
Dat in de future
|
Our role models would be home grown
|
And now we're walking down de street
|
Wid a brand new pride
|
A spring inna de step
|
Wid our heads held high
|
Young Asian brothers an sisters
|
Moving forward, side by side
|
Naya Zindagi! Naya Jeevan
|
New Way New Life
|
|
Our opportunity will no longer be denied
|
New Way New Life
|
Naya Zindagi! Naya Jeevan
|
|
And we're supposed to be cool
|
Inna de dance our riddims rule
|
But we knew it all along
|
Cos our parents made us strong
|
Never abandoned our culture
|
Just been moving it along
|
Technology our tradition
|
Innovation inna the song
|
Now de struggle continues
|
To reverse every wrong
|
New heroines and heroes
|
Inna de battle we belong
|
When we reach de glass ceiling
|
We will blow it sky high
|
Naya Zindagi! Naya Jeevan
|
New Way New Life
|
|
Stayed an we fought an now de future's open wide
|
New Way New Life
|
Naya Zindagi! Naya Zindagi!
