Lyrics

(introduction in Persian by Manoochehr Sadeghi is a poem that Abdu'l-Baha' wrote many Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1978) From the albums TAKIN' IT EASY (1978) and MUSIC OF THE SECOND BAHA'I CONGRESS (1994) Tearfully I raise my hands, and supplicate unto thee in prayer Close my eyes and you're there again. It's not the end. You are with me always Abdu'l-Bahá, your footsteps are oh so hard to follow For a broken-winged bird whose flight is very slow, such a long, long way to go Hopefully, I turn my face to Thee, and ask forgiveness All my life I've been blind. Now I see Mankind is one, all religions agree Abdu'l-Bahá, the lessons of your life are here to follow Now this broken-winged bird, whose flight is very slow Has a way to go - home
