Bappa
is
here,
the
streets
are
alive
Kailash
Puri,
feel
the
vibe
Yeah,
it’
s
the
time
of
the
year
Let
the
celebration
begin
Early
morning
sun
rising
over
the
lane
We
decorate
the
mandal,
forget
all
the
pain
Every
flower,
every
garland,
yellow
and
red
Waiting
for
the
master,
by
the
blessings
we're
led
Kailash
Puri
streets,
they
are
buzzing
today
The
Ganpati
Mitra
Mandal
leads
the
way
People
coming
together,
hearts
beating
as
one
The
festival
of
joy
has
finally
begun
Bappa
Aala
Re,
let
the
drums
resound
Bappa
Aala
Re,
peace
all
around
Walking
through
the
streets,
dancing
in
the
light
Everything
is
calm,
everything
is
right
Oh,
Bappa
Aala
Re,
welcome
to
our
home
With
you
by
our
side,
we’
ll
never
be
alone
Neighbors
are
smiling,
sharing
sweets
at
the
door
We’
ve
been
waiting
for
this
moment,
wanting
some
more
No
hurry,
no
rush,
just
a
steady,
slow
groove
Watching
the
procession,
watch
how
we
move
Every
single
face
holds
a
story
of
grace
Finding
the
rhythm,
finding
our
place
In
this
neutral
space,
where
the
spirit
is
clear
We
celebrate
the
love
that
brings
us
all
here
Bappa
Aala
Re,
let
the
drums
resound
Bappa
Aala
Re,
peace
all
around
Walking
through
the
streets,
dancing
in
the
light
Everything
is
calm,
everything
is
right
Oh,
Bappa
Aala
Re,
welcome
to
our
home
With
you
by
our
side,
we’
ll
never
be
alone
Steady
pulse,
feel
the
beat
of
the
city
It’
s
a
beautiful
sight,
it’
s
a
beautiful
pity
That
time
moves
so
fast,
but
we
pause
for
the
prayer
There’
s
a
sense
of
belonging
filling
the
air
Kailash
Puri,
we
keep
the
tradition
alive
Just
keeping
it
simple,
keeping
it
drive
Lights
in
the
evening,
casting
a
glow
Watching
the
faces,
watching
them
show
Genuine
kindness,
simple
and
true
Ganpati
Bappa,
we’
re
thankful
for
you
No
need
for
the
chaos,
no
need
for
the
noise
Just
simple
reflection,
just
simple
joys
We
carry
the
blessing
through
the
rest
of
the
year
Knowing
the
master
will
always
be
near
Bappa
Aala
Re,
let
the
drums
resound
Bappa
Aala
Re,
peace
all
around
Walking
through
the
streets,
dancing
in
the
light
Everything
is
calm,
everything
is
right
Oh,
Bappa
Aala
Re,
welcome
to
our
home
With
you
by
our
side,
we’
ll
never
be
alone
Bappa
Aala
Re
Kailash
Puri,
stand
tall
Peace
to
the
city,
peace
to
us
all (
