Figures On A Terrace Poem by Raj Arumugam

Come let us sing
and let us play the drum
and make those strings
soothe the emotions and mind
let us sing
to the peace of the world;
let us sing
that love and harmony
will embrace
all nations and peoples;
let us sing this evening
that all nations and peoples
will have stillness and oneness
in their hearts
Come let us sing
and let us play the drum
and make those strings
soothe the emotions and mind
