Rani Lakshmi Bai came in my dream
She wanted me to serve our nation and
Follow her footsteps of courage and esteem.
You have the same spirit in your veins
The same fire in your heart and mind
You have the power to break the chains
That bind your country and your kind.
Do not waste your time in idle dreams
Of vanity or disdain
Don’t think of yourself as supreme
While others are in pain.
Join the forces that work for noble schemes
Fight for people’s equality and rights
Remember to always work in a team
And fight the good fight
Go fly my dear girl
Let your wings unfurl
Be the change you want
To see in the world
Rani Lakshmi Bai smiled and blessed me
And then she faded from my sight
But her words remained and impressed me
And filled me with a new light.
