(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
