Ghandi (what legends are made of)

A Christ and a Buddha in our own time

One man against governments and religion

As close as you get to the divine

He promoted unity not division

 

One man that changed the world for all time

In the midst of strife

He was the conscience for all mankind

He was prepared to give his life

 

I am a Muslim, and a Hindu,

and a Christian and a Jew

and so are all of you”

 

Nonviolence for peace he would barter

He used peace to fight violence and won

He died impoverished, as a martyr

Known as the father of India, its peaceful son
