13.Changing India (2:54)
I went to India on a business trip to visit a modern call centre based there. In the taxi we passed an old woman breaking roadstone. The contrast struck me.

Changing India
Old woman breaking stones
Breaking stones to build a road
Building for a future that will leave her far behind
Old woman breaking stones
She can’t change India alone
She can’t change India alone
Old man still tilling soil
Tilling soil to feed the world
Feeding for a future that will leave him far behind
Old man still tilling soil
He can’t change India alone
He can’t change India alone
Young girl speaking on the phone
Speak to customers at home
Speaking of a time when one day she’ll change the world
Young girl speaking on the phone
She can’t change India alone
She can’t change India alone
Young man at computer screen
Watching visions of a dream
Dreaming of a time when one day he’ll change the world
Young man at computer screen
He can’t change India alone
He can’t change India alone
All the people that are here
Bring a hope for India
Hoping for a time when one day they’ll change the world
India, it’s time to be
Hoping for a time when one day they’ll change the world
India, it’s time to be
India, it’s time to be
India, it’s time to be
