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