Vegetarian... the way
of life
Vegetarian is the way of life
All beings are threading their style
Through the light of birth and death
Vegetables are prime food of mother nature
Come on to enjoy the grains
Come on to savour the green
They'll heal you from illnesses
They'll stop you from aging
Live the way the nature blesses
Let your soul be cleansed of sin
Fill in your heart with kindness
Vegetarians are living longer
Vegetables lead the way of life
A life full of merits and charity
Purely free from disasters and pain
Hail you all with happiness and joy
