LYRICS:

1      ABDU'L-BAHA
He was diamonds, He was oceans, He was eyes of Persian blue
He was First Light, He was many, He was One
Open-hearted in the autumn, open-hearted in the spring
Summer roses in His tunic each season

He was harbour, He was heaven, He was heaven, He was home
He was warm smile, He was soft voice, He was tears
Strong and tender, like a river, and His heart beat like a bird's
How I long to hear those wings beat close again

He was new snow, on old branches, He was crystal in the stream
He was silver-spinning rainfall, He was fire
He was water from the deep well, He was rainbow on the marsh
He was safe path to the hillside, He was stars

He was shelter from the cold wind, He was warmth against the ice
He was lips that told a language of their own
His arms held out like branches, and His eyes were like a dove's
How I long to feel those wings beat close again

He was diamonds, He was oceans, He was colours in the sky
He was everything and more than I can tell
As I stumble through this world, I wonder to myself
Where is there One who walked this world so well
