Game of Chess: Part VIII
For George Harrison and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Oh, I’m so happy I’m back home
Walking the streets of my fav’rite London
Gee, it’s so good to come back to sip the wine
And think of Tchaikovsky’s Lake of Swan
Oh Charing Cross Road
The place where you find old books stored
By chance at Leicester Square I hear a man sing
George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord”
Was it not George, the Beatle of spirituality?
Who was searching for the voice of eternity?
Was it not this very George, who said he’d found it?
After hearing one “little” Khan, Nusrat Fateh Ali?
Oh Asrar, tonight’s the night for the best wine
If Lataji can say, Bhavaan lives in the voice of Mehdi Hasan
Who are then the rulers of these lands to say
That all of us aren’t one?
-- Somewhere, sometime in England
