I am Bangladesh

*"I Am Bangladesh"* *[Verse 1]* Etched upon my chest, the red and green Meghna and Jamuna flow through my dreams Padma’s soft melodies call out my name Deep in my heart, love and reverence flame ***_ I am Bangladesh, I am Bengali I live by my faith, I speak my story I am Bangladesh, rooted and free My voice, my land, my destiny[Chorus] *[Verse 2]* Morning dew on earthen roads, farmers rise Chasing gold from soil beneath open skies Women walk the fields with love in hand Sowing life across this blessed land Golden crops lean into green Joy reflected in the faces I’ve seen They are the heart, they are the light Because of them, our future’s bright _**_ You are Bangladesh, you are Bengali Walk with pride, live your dignity You are Bangladesh, come build with me Our motherland, for you and me[Chorus] *[Verse 3]* At the cost of martyrs’ sacrifice At the cost of honor, paid the price A nation woke to freedom’s call Broke the chains and stood tall History remembers every name To those who fell, eternal flame _*** We are Bangladesh, we see, we hear We are human, we hold each other near This land is ours, we shape what’s true Each of us free, in faith anew[Bridge] I am Bangladesh, no more in chains Why must I search for what freedom gains? I am Bangladesh, no caste, no creed I claim what’s mine in word and deed Why must I suffer, why must I bleed? Here, there, everywhere — justice is what we need I am Bangladesh, I will not be still I stand for truth, for human will No more bodies at our border line We choose peace, we choose to shine *[Final Chorus]* We are Bangladesh, we choose harmony Come, let us love this land as one We are Bangladesh, together we’ll be Building our future, till the work is done I am Bangladesh. I am free. ---
