A Tribute To Abdu'l-bahã¡ Lyrics - Seals And Crofts

(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.
