Heaven of Freedom

Where the mind is without fear

And the head is held high

Where knowledge is free

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls

Where words come out from the depth of truth

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom,

My father,

Let my country awake

(A poem by Rabindranath Tagore who is also the author of JANA GANA MANA)

"Someday, the lion and the lamb shall lie down together, and every man shall sit under his own vine and fig tree, and none shall be afraid. I still believe that we shall overcome." (Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior)
