lyrics

Lyrics are from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh:

"O children of men! Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over the other. Ponder at all times in your hearts how ye were created. Since We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest. Such is My counsel to you, O concourse of light!"

O children of men
Know ye not why We created you
All from the same dust, the same dust

That no one should exalt himself over the other

Ponder at all times in your hearts
How ye were created

Since We created you all from one same
Substance it’s incumbent on you to be

Even as one soul
Walk with the same feet
Eat with the same mouth
Dwell in the same land

That from your inmost being
By your deeds and actions
The signs of oneness and the
Essence of detachment

May be made manifest

Such is My counsel to you
O concourse of light

O children of men
Know ye not why We created you
All from the same dust, the same dust
