Here is a song I've written as a tribute to the Mumbai victims and for all the people of India, commemorating the solidarity and feeling of unity that emerged after the event. It's a first version that I did start to finish in about 3 days. I know there's plenty of scope for improvement, but I hope at least the feeling is conveyed.
You can listen to the song here on Radio Jiva.
Anekta Mein Ekta (Unity in Diversity)
Lyrics and Music by Steven Rudolph

So many people on the streets today
Raising their voices, we have something to say
People of every age and every faith were full of rage
But now we’ve finally learned turn the page
This is a brand new day
Satyam eva jayate (truth will prevail)
Ek hi hai (one indeed)
Ek hai hum (we are one)
Anekta mein ekta,
Anekta mein ekta
Ek hi hai
Ek hai hum
A billion pairs of ears have hear the cries so many lives
So many lies we’ve just refused to hear
A billion pairs of eyes look to the skies, we realize
There isn’t any need to fear
This is a brand new day
Satyam eva jayate
Ek hi hai
Ek hai hum
Anekta mein ekta
Anekta mein ekta
Ek hi hai
Ek hai hum
This is our chance to rise
A billion hearts, side by side
This is our moment to break free
Our fathers used to say
That we shall over come someday
And now celebrate that day is here
And now celebrate that day is here
Anekta mein ekta, Anekta mein ekta
Ek hi hai, ek hai hum
