The fighter for India's freedom rose,
fighting from a British ruled nation to fight brave.
He never once believed that those,
thousands of miles away would crave
to conquer land so far far away.
He did not believe in the use of force
fighting bravely through obstacles each day.
Believing that India should shape its own course,
he went to jail for what he believed in.
His heart, his determination inspired
those throughout India to fight with him,
never giving up even as they perspired.
His courageous story carved a path for many,
Never once had a complaint, not one, not any.
