Auroville Rising
The red dust of Auroville
is swirling in the wind
Threats at the border,
where do we begin?
Heavy hand of power
trying to lock the gate
Facing down the shadow
of an unmade state (stay strong)
But the soil remembers the dream that we sowed Underneath the pressure,
a brand new road Transmuting the sorrow,
transmuting the fear
Rise up, beautiful dawn!
The darkest night is almost gone
Through the storm we find our way
To a unified, golden day (ahhhh)
They can try to divide
what the spirit has bound
But our roots run deep in this sacred ground
No walls can contain
the light that we hold
As the story of a new dawn starts to unfold
This painful change, this sacred fire
Purifying our deepest desire
No longer afraid, we stand as one
Facing the light of the rising sun (we stand as one!)
Rise up, beautiful dawn!
The darkest night is almost gone
Through the storm we find our way
To a unified, golden day (ahhhh)
Golden day... Auroville, our home... (hummm)
