WE ARE ALL ONE....
ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL,
ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL,
ALL THINGS WISE AND WONDERFUL;
THE LORD GOD MADE THEM ALL!
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
He made them, high or lowly,
And ordered their estate.



The purple headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.



The tall trees in the greenwood,


The meadows where we play,


The rushes by the water,

To gather every day.


HE GAVE US EYES TO SEE THEM,


AND LIPS THAT WE MIGHT TELL


HOW GREAT IS GOD ALMIGHTY,


WHO MADE ALL THINGS WELL...

PARINEETA

ik nadi thi,
jo kabhi bhi,
sagar se milnaa saki...

raste ke parbaton ko,
paar kar na saki...

rookhi si sookhi si,
pyaasi adhuri s,i
ab tak bichchi hai wahan.......

ek qatraa aansu kaa,
ussmey par baaki hai,
meri hi tarhaa piyaa...

piyu bole.........kya ye boley....jiya dole....kyun ye....jaanu naaa....



( This sad version of the song 'Piyu Bole' from 'Parineeta' never found its way to the movie or the album is still lying in some corner of my heart as it describes its own destiny ! )
