Written for my little niece, Maya who is in my thoughts and prayers day in and day out. Gupal protect her [Intro: Slow and reverent harmonium, single voice] (Om...) (Om...) [Verse 1: Gentle, passionate lead vocal] In the quiet of the heart, the fire wakes A single breath is all it takes To sing the names, to feel the light To chase away the darkest night [Pre-Chorus: Tabla drum slowly enters] Awaken the spirit, let the mind go free Lost inside this melody... [Chorus: Call and Response, moderate tempo] (Lead) Govinda Jaya Jaya! (Choir) Gopala Jaya Jaya! (Lead) Radha Ramana Hari! (Choir) Govinda Jaya Jaya! [Instrumental: Tabla beat speeds up, joyful harmonium] [Verse 2: Tempo increases, ecstatic and energetic] The rhythm beats inside the soul We lose our bounds, we are made whole Voices rising to the sky On wings of pure devotion, we fly! [Chorus: High energy, passionate, fast-paced call and response] (Lead) Govinda Jaya Jaya! (Choir) Gopala Jaya Jaya! (Lead) Radha Ramana Hari! (Choir) Govinda Jaya Jaya! [Bridge: Rhythmic clapping, joyful group singing] [Tempo Increase] Singing loud, breathing free Dance inside the ecstasy! Clap your hands, feel the grace Spirit filling up this space! [Instrumental Solo: Ecstatic harmonium, extremely fast tabla rhythm] [Outro Chorus: Maximum energy, choir voices soaring] Govinda Jaya Jaya! Gopala Jaya Jaya! Radha Ramana Hari! Govinda Jaya Jaya! [Outro: Sudden stop, single ringing bell fading out] (Om...)
