Lyrics

(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
