Rising like waves in a roaring sea,
my desire to cleanse my heart.
Flickering like a lamp about to extinguish,
my desire to live like a human.
With a new life in my heart, eyes and being,
To be born again…the human in me…
To be born again…the human in me…
– M.M. Keeravani
Song from a film Vedam (2010)
