Words:
Your life, your story, your sacrifice
Your love, your devotion, your smiling eyes Your example shines so bright
Your example is my guiding light
If I could live your life, if I could share your story, if I could feel your sacrifice
If I could learn to love, with pure devotion, If I could see through your eyes
Your example is my guiding light You gave your all to serve mankind
You are the Mystery I ponder every day
You gave us all the strength to step out of the shade
I want to walk in your footsteps
I want to walk in your way
You show me the path, I pray I take it, day by day
We will see no strangers, see them all as friends, turn away from otherness
In this wondrous age, we’ll gather all the people, to the world of oneness
Your example shines so bright, You gave your all to serve mankind
You are the mystery I ponder every day
You gave us all the strength to step out of the shade
I want to walk in your footsteps
I want to walk in your way
You show me the path, I’m gonna take it - day by day
To travel the world in the utmost poverty
Raising the call of His Glorious Name
That was your longing that you gave to me
I just have to raise my own capacity
Now is the time to raise high The banner of unity
Intone the verses, verses of friendship
Grace of God is one, the Grace of God is one
You are the mystery I ponder every day
You are the mystery
Abdu’l-Baha
