LAMP LIGHTERS IN THEIR MARCH
FOR AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY SING......

We, the lamp-lighters in darkness
Assembled from all corners
Of this land of ours.

We are farmers some,
Some are labourers,
Weavers, blacksmiths some,
Some are teachers, tradesmen some,
And doctors with their healing balm.
We present a variegated hue,
Either men or women we are.
But our mission is one and the same-
To march with our lighted lamps.
And illumine dark cottages
Of the poor and the oppressed.

We belong to a new race, and
Are baptized in a new religion.
A new bond of unity binds us
And takes us forward
To break down the walls
Of oppression and exploitation,
And open up a new window
Of freedom and hope.
Our vow today is to wipe off
Tears of sorrow from every face
And brighten it in a new light.
