Where the mind is without fear by Rabindranath Tagore
Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free,
Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments
by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out
from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving
stretches its arm towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way
into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind
is led forward by thee into
ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom,
my Father, let my country awake.
