Green On The Map

[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
