Smith & Dragoman - Badi lyrics

A troubled youth who would turn from his father's word He must find his own way Unaware of the mark he would leave on this world His journey unknown With a word Nabíl kindled the fire of love in his heart And he set off to find the love of the world Chorus 1 O Badí‘! You were chosen to move the world To carry the tablet of might And fulfilling the trust you would hold You offered your life Holy was the mission entrusted to you You enter His room On that night He would show you the other side The light and the beauty Destiny a tablet of truth to challenge his rule With trust and devotion, embracing your goal Chorus 2 O Badí‘! You were chosen to move the world To carry the tablet of might And fulfilling the trust you would hold You offered your life Your sacrifice and the honour upon your soul Embracing the call from above And with courage you welcome your end and show us your love The Messenger weeps alone in His cell The pen that will immortalize your name Beloved Badí‘, the heavens will cry for you A whisper in our hearts you will remain Chorus
