(তুমি কি সাড়া দিবে?)
(আবারও কি সাড়া দিবে?)

একমুঠো মুক্তির ডাক পাঠাচ্ছে
মন থেকে মনে স্বপ্ন ছড়াচ্ছে
একমুঠো মুক্তির ডাক পাঠাচ্ছে
মন থেকে মনে স্বপ্ন ছড়াচ্ছে

তুমি কি সাড়া দিবে?
ফেরারি বাতাসে বন্ধুর ডাকাডাকি
হারিয়ে যাওয়ার ইচ্ছা সবার
তুমি কি সাড়া দিবে?
আবারও কি সাড়া দিবে?
তুমি কি সাড়া দিবে?
আবারও কি সাড়া দিবে?

বোহেমিয়ান বাতাসে চলো হেঁটে যাই
একই সাথে, একই সুরে আমরা সবাই

লক্ষ্য হারিও না, স্বপ্ন ছেড়ো না
ডাকছে জীবন, তুমি বসে থেকো না

তুমি কি সাড়া দিবে?
ফেরারি বাতাসে বন্ধুর ডাকাডাকি
হারিয়ে যাওয়ার ইচ্ছা সবার

তুমি কি সাড়া দিবে?
আবারও কি সাড়া দিবে?
তুমি কি সাড়া দিবে?
আবারও কি সাড়া দিবে?
তুমি কি সাড়া দিবে?
আবারও কি সাড়া দিবে?
তুমি কি সাড়া দিবে?

আবারও কি সাড়া দিবে?
তুমি কি সাড়া দিবে?
