Smith & Dragoman - Beyond the Veil (Ascension of Abdu'l-Bahá) 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 Pa**es By, p. 309-311)
