1.
Adapted from “Ektuku Choa Lage” by Rabindranath Tagore Your passing touch is like the intoxicating fragrance of a Champa flower. You cause my heart to sing along to the sweet sounding rhythm of ankle bells.
2.
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry, Go to sleep my little baby. When you wake you shall have All the pretty little horses. Black and bays, dapples, grays, Coach and six white horses. African American lullaby

by Dr. M. Balamurali Krishna Krishna, you are like the ocean of rising and falling waves, rhythmically surging and swelling. You personify the beauty and richness of all the world's sound. I am offering you this garland of ragas (melody) and talas (rhythm).

Adapted from “La Dalu Bo Path” by H.M. Jayawardana, Lyrics by Rambukkana Siddhartha Thera Like the young leaves of the bodhi tree shaking slowly in the wind, Buddha's mother quietly cries as she remembers the previous lives of her son.
8.
Oh watch the stars, see how they run Oh watch the stars, see how they run Oh the stars run down at the setting of that sun Oh watch the stars, see how they run. Oh see the moon, see how it glows Oh see the moon, see how it glows Oh the moon glows at the setting of the sun Oh see the moon, see how it glows Oh feel the wind, feel how it blows Oh feel the wind, feel how it blows Oh the wind blows at the setting of sun Oh feel the wind, feel how it blows

about

We dedicate this music to mother figures who work selflessly to build families and communities, to artists and creators who love passionately and live fearlessly, and to the marginalized and oppressed groups of people who sing of stars, of hope and of a greater goodness. Special thanks to our teachers, supporters, friends and families.
