Rickshaw Wala

Have you seen the rickshaw driver? A member of life's brotherhood Peedlin' about the city, knowin' of the bad and good This particular fellow, went to school and ABCD Havin' no Indian rupees, but he's got a soul that's freed From the rippin' off, of the fleetin' tourist And drivin' them just where they've been He is not a member of the rat-race But a humble voyager, a friend A friend Then there is, the man snake charmer With business partners of the fang, ouch! Cobras mesmerized by music No one else can play his game Next in line is the peanut vendor Knowin' what he's got to do Settin' on the dusty highway Sellin' crunch to passers through Oh, the haze and the maze of the incense burnin' Naked temples and no-style clothes Jewels and gems, and beggars beggin' With clay and copper and golden bowls, begging, "As you please, sir", "As you please, sir", "Help me fill my needs" "As you please, sir", "As you please, sir", "Help me fill my needs" There are no words, to sum up the many Roads and acts of yearnin' men All have breath and laugh together As the barrier wears thin, oh oh oh Let the barrier wear thin So, if you meet a rickshaw driver And you, he is a heavin' up the hill Climb to the top, your loads together And just fly Fly together down the hill Realize the space-flight thrill The space-flight thrill
