Awake my friend, don’t you sleep
The sun is up to warm your heart and your life
Just let it shine so bright
The day is young the night has gone
The dew is fresh upon the leaves of the tree
The tree of life
Our lives are spent in search of our love
On our journey to the world beyond
And it’s hard so hard to find our way
You know this old world will crumble one day
In those early days their love it burned so bright
The time had come for them to search this world for the light that shines for all time
The guiding hand, a vision deeply sought
From Shaykh Ahmad to the soul Siyyid Kázim
Came the call: To find the Sacred One
Their lives were spent in search of their Beloved
On their journey to the world beyond
And it was hard, so hard to find their way
They knew this old world would crumble one day
Kindle the fire of love
And burn away all things
Then set thy foot into the land
Of the lovers.*
*Bahá’u’lláh, The Seven Valleys, p.11
