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
(spoken word)
In April 1912 he arrived in New York City
(melody)
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!
