Story Behind the Song
I composed this song after spending the early morning wandering an Indian marketplace.
Lyrics
INDIA
Sun is rising, over India
Shadows lifting, like a ribbon of purple, from the mountains
Waters flowing, all thru India
People singing, giving thanks in the river, of life
Sun is moving, over India
In the market, there's a rainbow of color, in the street
People talking, some are chanting prayers
Some are dreaming, of the days of their past, glory
Stars are shining, over India
Tossed like jewels, in an ocean of midnight, sky
Candles burning, glowing warm and bright
On the waters, thru the windows on streets, sacred fire
