We say "No"!!
Off we went …down the slope
And through the shadows of trees
Passing by the pristine springs… splashing about…
Playing in fields greener than ever…
My memories… my beautiful Goa.
And then as if… I were asleep… I wake ..
What happened and how fast??
"Down with the hills and down with the birds…
Down with the rivers let's fill them with dirt..
Feed the land to the sharks, bring in the concrete..
Flush the garden with garbage…
Steal their jobs and make them leave…
Cheat them… rob them… strip them naked!!
Spread corruption in every nook and corner!!
Go buy their votes and make them pay back a hundred times!!!
Ha ha ha!!!"
Who are these people ?
And why are we shaking hands with them??
If mining this way continues water won't last!!
If destruction wins we will lose!!
There'll be no trees to bear fruit…
There'll be no sunshine after the storm
It'll be the end of us!!
This can't be real…?!
It must be a nightmare…
And then we wake up…
Goans Wake up… can you hear the bells are ringing…
Listen to the earth calling!! Return…
And save what we must.. If we wish to live!!
We can't eat money… nor can we drink it!!
We can't spit on nature… and pretend like nothing's wrong!!
The destroyers are here…
They will plunder all and leave!!
Unless we say "NO"!!
"No" rises from within…
"No"!! Echo's in the wind
"No… No… No"!!
Say no to the destruction of Goa!!
Goa… worry not…. We are here for you..
Goa, your children come to rescue!!
Goa, our mother… we will save you!!
