Song of Youth - Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

Song of Youth - Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (Former President of India)

 As a young citizen of India

        armed with technology, knowledge and love for my nation

I realize, small aim is a crime

I will work and sweat for a great vision

       the vision of transforming India into a developed nation

        powered by economic strength with value system

I am one of the citizens of the billion

        only the vision will ignite the billion souls

It has entered into me

The ignited soul compared to any resource

        is the most powerful resource

       on the earth, above the earth and under the earth

I will keep the lamp of knowledge burning

        to achieve the vision – developed India.
