A Tribute to 'Abdu'l-Baha'

歌詞

(introduction in Persian by Manoochehr Sadeghi is a poem that Abdu'l-Baha' wrote many years ago to his father, Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Baha'i faith; lyrics by James 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.
