kehte hain padh likhkar aakhir kya karogi
tumko to kisi ka ghar basaana hai
kehte hain tum ho amaanat dusron ki
unse kaho apni bhi zidd hai
tode hum saare ye pinjre
chhu le aasmaan ye jahaan hum jeet len
badle daastan, har dhadakan bole
chhu le aasmaan ye jahaan hum jeet len
badle daastan, har dhadakan bole

kehte hain bete budhape ka sahara hain
betiyaan, bas ek bojh hain
kehte hain jo bura hua tera kusur hai
unse kaho, apni bhi zidd hai
tode hum saare ye pinjre
chhu le aasmaan ye jahaan hum jeet len
badle daastan, har dhadakan bole
chhu le aasmaan ye jahaan hum jeet len
badle daastan, har dhadakan bole

har zarra ye kahe, ab hum hai sang tere
roke se na ruke hey hey hey
har qatra cheekh ke, dohraaye sang mere
ab roke na ruke hey hey hey
chhu le aasmaan
koi agar humse puche, kaun hai hum
chahe hum jo bhi hai, apni pehchan kahe
Jab tak hai humaare bich barabari na ho
tab tak kaise, khud ko hum insaan kahe

chhu le aasmaan ye jahaan hum jeet len
badle daastan, har dhadakan bole
chhu le aasmaan ye jahaan hum jeet len
badle daastan, har dhadakan bole, chhu le

They ask, what use is learning, what's the gain?
You're meant to build a home, a life for him.
They say you're borrowed, owned by another's chain.
Tell them, our resolve, a fire within!
Shatter the cages, break the gilded bars,
Touch the sky, and claim this world as ours!
Rewrite the stories, let each heartbeat soar,
Touch the sky, and claim this world as ours!
Rewrite the stories, let each heartbeat soar.

They say, a son's the staff to lean upon in age,
But daughters, burdens, heavy on the soul.
They say, if ill befalls, you write the page.
Tell them, our resolve will make us whole!
Shatter the cages, break the gilded bars,
Touch the sky, and claim this world as ours!
Rewrite the stories, let each heartbeat soar,
Touch the sky, and claim this world as ours!
Rewrite the stories, let each heartbeat soar.

Each atom whispers, "Now, we walk with you!"
Unstoppable, a rising, surging tide!
Each drop cries out, repeating, "I'm with you!"
Unstoppable, with nowhere left to hide!
Touch the sky!
If asked, "Who are we?" let our answer ring.
Whatever we may be, our truth we'll claim.
Until equality's true balance swings,
How can we call ourselves the same?

Touch the sky, and claim this world as ours!
Rewrite the stories, let each heartbeat soar,
Touch the sky, and claim this world as ours!
Rewrite the stories, let each heartbeat soar, touch!
