lyrics

Powerless © Ajay Srivastav

Another forgotten soul, taking the blame for what he can’t control
He never wanted more, don’t even know what he’s fighting for
Where is the promise? Where is the hope?
Where is the faith? To help him cope.
Where is the truth? Where is the law?
Where is the world he’s been working for?

Don’t hurt my brother for what goes wrong
The powerless will soon be strong
Don’t blame my sister with all your lies
The powerless one day will rise

Tired of waiting in, a queue that ends before it begins
She keeps her dignity, no place for opportunity
Where is the promise? Where is the hope?
Where is the faith? To help her cope.
Where is the truth? Where is the law?
Where is the world she’s been working for?

Don’t hurt my brother for what goes wrong
The powerless will soon be strong
Don’t blame my sister with all your lies
The powerless one day will rise

Shadows are on the rise, from another sun that burns with fear and lies
There is no final word. Everybody’s shouting and can’t be heard
Where is the promise? Where is the hope?
Where is the faith? To help us cope.
Where is the truth? Where is the law?
Where is the world we been fighting for?

Don’t hurt my brother for what goes wrong
The powerless will soon be strong
Don’t blame my sister with all your lies
The powerless one day will rise

about

Ajay Srivastav image

Ajay Srivastav London, UK

Described in the music press as ground-breaking, Ajay’s soulful, stirring songs are the product of a crossfire hurricane of influences, drawing equally from the Mississippi Delta that sired the Blues and the Varanasi Ghats where prayers, birth-rites and coming-of-age ceremonies are performed beside the Ganges. ... more
