boy saved by Mother Teresa writes a song about her

from The Hindu (Newspaper in India)

a victim of polio, he was abandoned on the street and taken in by Mother Teresa's sisters, and later adopted by a British family.

Thirty-six years later, as Rome prepares to canonise Mother Teresa on September 4, the boy Gautam Lewis, now a 39-year-old pilot, musician, photographer and filmmaker, has returned to the city with a documentary film, a photography exhibition, and a song that will be released in over 200 countries on September 4 — all tributes celebrating Mother Teresa.

The song, titled ‘Mora Ganng’...The lyrics of Tagore’s “Ebar tor mora gaange baan esheche/ Joy maa bole bhasa tori” (Now the dead stream returns high tide/ Set your raft sailing chanting mother’s name) beautifully come together in hip hop as “Oh mother, hold me up, let me fly”.
