Paroles de A tribute to abdu'l-bahá

(introduction in persian by manoochehr sadeghi is a poem that abdu'l-baha' wrote many
Years ago to his father, bah'u'llh, 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-bah, 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-bah, 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.
