beyond the veil (ascension of abdu'l-bahá) - smith & dragoman lyrics

verse 1
in a mystical time, when the mystery tread the earth
servant to all
a candle of light, weeping his life away
drop by drop
verse 2
oh fettered bird, in the cage of an ailing world
“kindle his light”
“in tears before thy face”
“at the heavenly entrance of thy gate”
pre chorus
“my presence will be with you always”
chorus
“i have laboured [day and night]”
i must leave and take my flight
and “no strength is there left in me”
“i’ve done all that could be done”
verse 3
his father calls, a call to return to him
the work is done
and his family awaits, they patiently wait for him
beyond the veil
and he yearns everyday to take his flight
pre chorus
chorus
instrumental (ascension)
verse 4
only one joy remained, for his pure heart to be fulfulled
his dying wish
that the friends raise the call, and carry his gift of love
to the world
and the son of baha has winged his flight
(compilations, baha’i scriptures, p. 503)
(abdu’l-baha, selections from the writings of abdu’l-baha, p. 318)
(shoghi effendi, god p-sses by, p. 309-311)
