Snow on the rooftops
Tea on the slope
Cedars in the wind
And apricot groves
Ladakh to the valley
Where the prayer flags lean
India wears white
Then turns palm-green
Red dust, rain clouds
River bends and sand
Every road is different
In the same great land
Seven lands, one song
India, sing along
Mountains, plains, and sea
All of it runs in me
Seven lands, one song
India, sing along
From frost to monsoon rain
One heart, many names
Rann under moonlight
Salt like broken glass
Desert winds moving
Through the camel grass
Then the Deccan rolling
Hot stone, old red earth
Mango shade, black rock
And the fertile river births
Backwaters breathing slow
Coconut rows sway
From one shore to another
The land keeps changing face
Seven lands, one song
India, sing along
Mountains, plains, and sea
All of it runs in me
Seven lands, one song
India, sing along
From frost to monsoon rain
One heart, many names
And down in the east
The clouds come low
Bamboo, delta, rain
Where the great rivers go
On the western shore
The surf keeps time
Cliff and coral, market drums
And the spice-lane rhyme
Seven lands, one song
India, sing along
Mountains, plains, and sea
All of it runs in me
Seven lands, one song
India, sing along
From frost to monsoon rain
One heart, many names
