LYRICS TO:"THE SONG OF INDIA" AS SUNG BY MARIO LANZA

(If you hear this backed up by a full choir, doing all the, "oohhh's" and" OOOO's" following the melody, and sung with the power of Mario Lanza, I guarantee you will have goosebumps!) I have underlined the words he really belts out loudly...

And still the snowy Himalayas rise, an ancient majesty before our eyes,

Beyond the plains- above the pines.

While through the ever-never changing land, as silently as any native band-

that moves at night, the Ganges shines-

Then I hear the song that only India can sing!

Softer than the plumage on a black ravens wing-

High upon a minaret I stand-and gaze across the desert sand,

upon an old enchanted land- There's a maharajah's caravan,

unfolding like a painted fan- how small the little race of man,

See them all parade across the ages!

All these Kings and slaves,from histories pages-

played  on one of natures vastest stages-

The turbaned  sheiks and beggars line the streets-

while holy men in shadowed calm retreats- pray through the night-

and watch the stars-

A lonely plane flies off to meet the dawn-

while down below, the busy life goes on-

and women crowd the old Bazaars-

All are in the song, that only India can sing!

All: India the Jewel of the East!!

Beautiful.

OUI?
