Red Broken Roof Tiles

Recently came across this song. In it the artist speaks about her experience praying at the resting place of her Lord. The lyrics are below:

red broken roof tiles are scattered along the path
who knows where they came from
i walked along the path
toward the loving spot where people turn towards
atleast once a day

i talk to Him
i ask Him for assistance to protect those that i love
and to guide those who are lost
surrender myself to His Will
put my life in His hands
Your hands

i raise my head
streaming tears fall down my cheek
i try hard to stand but my body’s feeling week
begin to walk away from His resting place
i felt like a rock as my heart was left in that space

surrender myself to His will
put my life in His hands
Your hands

Remembering the streets of Mumbai

Someday will I walk on you again.
Someday, breathe the air you breathe.

Again will I walk with you, alone.
Engulfing the beauty of your cluttered self.
O roads of Mumbai! You will always be my friend.
