Stream of Life

The song on Matt's video that I linked to the other day apparently has words to it. I really like the song and have listened to it many times as I have watched the video but could never understand the words. Using the credits at the end of the video I found the Poem that is used in the song Praan


RABINDRANATH TAGORE'S


GITANJALI


"Song Offerings"

Stream of Life



The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day

runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth

in numberless blades of grass

and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth

and of death, in ebb and in flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.

And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.
