Cancer - the word brings with it a hue of emotions and a palette of memories.... small children, smart young men and women, elderly people - cancer has spared none.
Cancer, as we all know is a deadly disease, but thanks to the massive developments in the field of medicine - most forms of cancer are now curable. So, all that is needed is HOPE and a strong will to challenge the disease.
We happened to see this wonderful initiative aimed at building that essential weapon - the "confidence" to conquer cancer. So, we - a small group of music enthusiasts - decided to try and focus our interest in music to this great cause - and this was how this song was born.
While coming up with the lyrics for our song, we happened to chance upon a great website- which had poems written by cancer patients themselves. Reading those poems, we were highly moved and realised that the actual emotion could be best conveyed only by someone who had been through it.
We were especially touched by this one poem written on a child who is braving cancer. The gravity of hope that this poem exudes was something we thought we should use for our venture.
To that, we added our Hindi lyrics which complements the underlying theme of "hope" and set it to our tune.
We sincerely hope our song reaches out to all those unfortunate victims of cancer and their families and friends and helps them battle against the disease until victory.
F6 presents "Hope" - in support of CAN Conquer CANcer.

Lyrics:
I’m a child who wanted to play
I was ill and pain didn’t go away
Some how I could not cope
Still I could not give up on this hope
With pain I could not stop my cry
To be brave I had to try
To feel well is taking so long
Trying to live, I had to be strong
Its nature's law -
When life sinks, hope floats....
Tumhein hi pukaare hain yeh saara sama
Tumhein hi bulaaye hain yeh mehakti hawa
Asha ke diye jalaake, tum ko pukaare
khwabon ko dil mein jagaake, tum ko pukaare - yeh jahaan
Transalation:
Oh child! The beautiful nature is calling you!
The sweet smelling gentle breeze is calling you!
Lighting the lamp of hope, kindling the dreams of life, the whole universe is calling you!
Meaning of words:
Sama: Nature, Environment
Mehakti Hawa : Sweet smelling breeze
Asha ke diye: Lamp of hope
Khwab: Dream
Tumhein hi pukaare hain yeh saara sama
Tumhein hi bulaaye hain yeh mehakti hawa

Jhoomein yeh zameen aasmaan ,Jhoomein chaandni yeh ghata
ummeed se tum ab raahi chalo, taqdeer ka rukh mod do
Kaanton bhari is raah mein, Asha ke phool tum bichhaake chalo
When life sinks, Hope floats...
Transalation:
Earth and sky is dancing in joy, the moonlight and the clouds are swaying in happiness
Oh child! Move on with the power hope, change your destiny with hope
Change the road of thorns to a bed of flowers

Lovely composition! The song's still reverberating..in my mind. Any idea how I can save it? Or buy it if you guys will let me? :) Harish, Shyam has told me a lot about you but today's the first time I actually heard you and I must say your voice is aweeeesome! And so are you Shyam! Totally awesome. I see your "small" ;) Shyamish write-up here. Just one little thing guys.. Try doing it in just one language.. or a foreign language like Chinese,Japanese etc. :) And do let me know if I can do anything to contribute to CCC.
Love,
P :)

Vodka: The song sounds great. Feels great to listen to stuff like this after all the shit we did when i was around in bangalore.
My 2 cents - Bass can be worked on a bit in the initial part(during your aalap).
Crack scene, keep the enthu going, and a little place for the rest of us...

hi shyam and harish,
the lyrics is good. but more than anything, the excellent effort for a equally noble cause makes us feel happy and proud.
