SONG FOR ABDU'L BAHA
words & music
Phil Morrison
(chorus)
Abdu'l Baha...Abdu'l Baha...Branch of the Tree....Exemplar
Abdu'l Baha...Abdu'l Baha...Son of The Glory...Baha'u'llah
verse 1 In April 1912 he arrived in New York City
To spread the Word of God for a New Day
Traveling far and wide - promoting amity
We Are One Human Family he would say!
verse 2 He spoke to us with wisdom - prescriptions for the world
How to solve the problems that affect us
Education is a must for every boy and girl
Laws from the Divine which will protect us
(chorus)
Abdu'l Baha...Abdu'l Baha...Branch of the Tree....Exemplar
Abdu'l Baha...Abdu'l Baha...Son of The Glory...Baha'u'llah
verse 3 Center of the Covenant - a life of purity
He served the Faith and helped it to grow faster
His writings were profound - expressed with clarity
Servant of the Glory - called The Master
verse 4 Religious persecution - an evil that we know...is
Cruelty that can't be tolerated
Equality for women - racism must go
Poverty will be eliminated
(chorus)
Abdu'l Baha...Abdu'l Baha...Branch of the Tree....Exemplar
Abdu'l Baha...Abdu'l Baha...Son of The Glory...Baha'u'llah
verse 5 Love lived in his heart - compassion in his soul
His kindness could be felt by one and all
World Unity he cried - for us to reach that goal
To Teach The Faith - as we heed his call
(chorus)
Abdu'l Baha...Abdu'l Baha...Branch of the Tree....Exemplar
Abdu'l Baha...Abdu'l Baha...Son of The Glory...Baha'u'llah
Son of the Glory....Baha'u'llah.......Son of the Glory....Abdu'l Baha!
