Have you seen the rickshaw driver?
A member of life’s brotherhood
Peedlin’ about the city, knowin’ of the bad and good
This particular fellow, went to school and ABCD
Havin’ no Indian rupees, but he’s got a soul that’s freed
From the rippin’ off, of the fleetin’ tourist
And drivin’ them just where they’ve been
He is not a member of the rat-race
But a humble voyager, a friend
A friend
Then there is, the man snake charmer
With business partners of the fang, ouch!
Cobras mesmerized by music
No one else can play his game
Next in line is the peanut vendor
Knowin’ what he’s got to do
Settin’ on the dusty highway
Sellin’ crunch to passers through
Oh, the haze and the maze of the incense burnin’
Naked temples and no-style clothes
Jewels and gems, and beggars beggin’
With clay and copper and golden bowls, begging,
"As you please, sir", "As you please, sir", "Help me fill my needs"
"As you please, sir", "As you please, sir", "Help me fill my needs"
There are no words, to sum up the many
Roads and acts of yearnin’ men
All have breath and laugh together
As the barrier wears thin, oh oh oh
Let the barrier wear thin
So, if you meet a rickshaw driver
And you, he is a heavin’ up the hill
Climb to the top, your loads together
And just fly
Fly together down the hill
Realize the space-flight thrill
The space-flight thrill
