2. Celebrate Republic day

We Indians are very proud to celebrate Republic day

Protected by soldiers in the border who never sway

Hear me, I just have few things to say

Reading this you may decide your own way

Over the years that has past

’26th Jan is just another holiday’, I thought

With the very recent wisdom I have got

I salute the leaders who had fought

I hear the media ‘flash news’ and end up in tear

‘Will there be more news on bomb blasts?’, I fear

Horrible living in the midst of terrorism and war

Is this what the great Mahatma dream’t for?

Why blame the Politicians and Government who don’t repent

Hey! As an individual I wont relent

For the election freebies and compliments they recommend

I shall say ‘NO’ and will not bend

Let’s not watch the cricketer’s zeroes

And stay away from the Corruption bureaus

Our great Jawans have nothing but only sorrows

Let us bow our heads for those real life heroes

Pay your tax, be very brave, take the wise decision today

Don’t you wish your grand children to happily play?

We Indians are very proud to celebrate Republic day

Protected by soldiers in the border who never sway

3. “Geetanjali” -Rabindranath Tagore

Where the mind is without fear

and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been

broken up into fragments by

narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from

the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches

its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason

has not lost its way into the dreary

desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is lead forward by thee

into ever-widening thought and action-

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,

let my country awake.

4. My India – Swami Yogananda Paramhansa

Better than Heaven or Arcadia

I love thee, O my India!

And thy love I shall give

To every brother nation that lives.

God made the Earth;

Man made confining countries

And their fancy-frozen boundaries.

But with unfound boundless love

I behold the borderland of my India

Expanding into the World.

Hail, mother of religions, lotus, scenic beauty,and sages!

Thy wide doors are open,

Welcoming God’s true sons through all ages.

Where Ganges, woods, Himalayan caves, and

men dream God –

I am hallowed; my body touched that sod.

5. The Gift of India – Sarojini Naidu

Is there ought you need that my hands withhold,

Rich gifts of raiment or grain or gold?

Lo ! I have flung to the East and the West

Priceless treasures torn from my breast,

And yielded the sons of my stricken womb

To the drum-beats of the duty, the sabers of doom.

Gathered like pearls in their alien graves

Silent they sleep by the Persian waves,

Scattered like shells on Egyptian sands,

They lie with pale brows and brave, broken hands,

they are strewn like blossoms mown down by chance

On the blood-brown meadows of Flanders and France.

Can ye measure the grief of the tears I weep

Or compass the woe of the watch I keep?

Or the pride that thrills thro’ my heart’s despair

And the hope that comforts the anguish of prayer?

And the far sad glorious vision I see

Of the torn red banners of victory?

when the terror and the tumult of hate shall cease

And life be refashioned on anvils of peace,

And your love shall offer memorial thanks

To the comrades who fought on the dauntless ranks,

And you honour the deeds of the dauntless ones,

Remember the blood of my martyred sons!

All in all, these are the must know patriotic republic day of india songs for children. You will be amazed to know that most of the national awards that include Bharat Ratna, Padma Bhushan and Kirti Chakra are bestowed on the people who deserve the same during the Republic Day ceremony.
