New Way New Life

Every sunday morning in front of the TV

Recording with a microphone naya zindagi

Pioneer gurdas maan

Nusrat fateh ali khan

Kept our parents alive

Gave them the will to survive

Working inna de factories

Sometimes sweeping de floor

Unsung heroines an heroes

Yes they open de door

They came a long time ago

But now it seems we've arrived

Naya zindagi naya jeevan

New way new life

Stayed an we fought an now de future's open wide

New way new life

Naya zindagi naya jeevan

New way new life

Naya zindagi naya jeevan

Tjinder pon de radio

Dis is England's new voice

Censorship for years

But now dem have no choice

Running thru de playground

We could never have known

Dat in de future

Our role models would be homegrown

And now we're walking down de street

Wid a brand new pride

A spring inna de step

Wid our heads held high

Young asian brothers an sisters

Moving forward. Side by side

Naya zindagi naya Jeevan

New way new life

Our opportunity will no longer be denied

New way new life

Naya zindagi naya Jeevan

And we're supposed to be cool

Inna de dance our riddims rule

But we knew it all along

Cos our parents made us strong

Never abandoned our culture

Just been moving it along

Technology our tradition

Innovation inna the song

Now de struggle continues

To reverse every wrong

New heroines an heroes

Inna de battle we belong

When we reach de glass ceiling

We will blow it sky high

Naya zindagi naya Jeevan

New way new life

Stayed an we fought an now de future's open wide

New way new life

Naya zindagi naya Zindagi

New way new life

Naya zindagi naya Jeevan
