Текст песни
[Verse 1]
From the kites on the roof
To the smoke of chai
You hear your name
In the bazaar at night
Truck art colors
On a painted door
Dust on my shoes
And my heart wants more
[Pre-Chorus]
From Hunza snow
To the Indus wide
Every road says
You’re alive, alive
[Chorus]
Pakistan, Pakistan
Hold me in your hand
Pakistan, Pakistan
I know where I stand
(Oh Pakistan)
From the hills to the sea
You’re the song in me
Pakistan, Pakistan
Home is what you mean
[Verse 2]
Green on the map
In a schoolbook page
Mangoes split sweet
In the summer haze
Loud from the bus
Soft in the rain
Grandmother’s prayers
Say my name again
[Pre-Chorus]
From Lahore’s dawn
To Karachi’s shore
Every stone says
There is room for more
[Chorus]
Pakistan, Pakistan
Hold me in your hand
Pakistan, Pakistan
I know where I stand
(Oh Pakistan)
From the hills to the sea
You’re the song in me
Pakistan, Pakistan
Home is what you mean
[Bridge]
Let the drums roll in
Let the flags rise high
We carry old hope
And a brand-new sky
(Oh Pakistan)
Side by side we go
One bright path ahead
And one deep glow
[Final Chorus]
Pakistan, Pakistan
Hold me in your hand
Pakistan, Pakistan
I know where I stand
(Oh Pakistan)
From the hills to the sea
You’re the song in me
Pakistan, Pakistan
Home is what you mean
From the kites on the roof
To the smoke of chai
You hear your name
In the bazaar at night
Truck art colors
On a painted door
Dust on my shoes
And my heart wants more
[Pre-Chorus]
From Hunza snow
To the Indus wide
Every road says
You’re alive, alive
[Chorus]
Pakistan, Pakistan
Hold me in your hand
Pakistan, Pakistan
I know where I stand
(Oh Pakistan)
From the hills to the sea
You’re the song in me
Pakistan, Pakistan
Home is what you mean
[Verse 2]
Green on the map
In a schoolbook page
Mangoes split sweet
In the summer haze
Loud from the bus
Soft in the rain
Grandmother’s prayers
Say my name again

Every stone says
There is room for more
[Chorus]
Pakistan, Pakistan
Hold me in your hand
Pakistan, Pakistan
I know where I stand

Стиль музыки
Pop-folk with dhol pulse and light electric guitar, medium tempo swing; verse stays intimate with rubab-like plucks and handclaps, pre-chorus opens with rising harmonies and snare lift, chorus lands big with gang vocals and a simple chantable hook. Lead vocal is warm and close-mic with doubled chorus lines, call-and-response ad-libs, a short filtered break before the final chorus, and a bright, wide mix with crisp low end.
