'Lonely I'm Crying' (lyrics)

Peepin’ through the window
I see a lonely child cryin’
I walk down the alley
And keep my hand on his shoulder.

(And) I ask him the reason
Why he’s lonely and cryin?

Just stands there and sobs on,
Never carin’ for reasons.
In each tear that he drops down,
I’m drenched in his miseries.

Chorus:
Don’t know, if this pain will ever die
Don’t know, if the child will ever smile.
Don’t know, if the morrow will be mine,
Till the end, will I survive this pain.

Cold winds as they blow by,
I see the lonely child freezin’
Alone and still deserted,
In a world so damn crowded.

Just stands there and tells me,
I’m broken inside (2)
So I take in his agony
And (I) cry really loud

Chorus:
I Don’t know, if this pain will ever die
I Don’t know, if the child will ever smile.
I Don’t know, if the morrow will be mine,
Till the end, will I survive this pain.

In a world so enchanting,
I find some lonely souls cryin’
Far from the rejoicing,
I find people in misery

They stand there and tell me
We’re lonely inside (2)
Then in their eyes I see,
My lonely soul drownin’

Chorus:
Don’t know, if this pain will ever die
Don’t know, if the child will ever smile.
Don’t know, if the morrow will be mine,
Till the end, will I survive this pain (3).

Aaa aa aaa (2)
Aaa aa aaa (2)

I’m Lonely, I’m Lonely
Lonely I’m Cryin' (2)
Lonely I’m Cryin'
I’m lonely
Oh please, oh please... oh Please
I’m Lonely… I’m Lonely…
I’m lonely

Lonely I’m cryin' (2)
I’m cryin' lonely (2)
I’m cryin' lonely (2)

Beyond (Short Film)

2008-08-14T23:03:00.000-07:00

Apart from singing Naveen has also starred in the short crossover film titled 'Beyond' (played the character of ‘Good’).

The essence of the crossover film "Beyond"

IS MORALITY GREATER THAN LIFE?

In his journey
of faith, the priest came
across people who defied
the Ten Commandments.
Life was dearer to them.
The man is still tossed
between the ideas of
Good and Evil.
Church, his source of
solace, crumbles before
his moral dilemmas.
These are the burning
human questions that
take him ultimately to his
enlightenment.
What does he find out?
Does the truth set
him free?
Will the truth set
you free?
