Mr. Paul Lample Speaks On Launch Of Nine Year Plan - 04302022

"O Lord God! Make us as waves of the sea, as flowers of the garden, united, agreed through the bounties of Thy love. O Lord! Dilate the breasts through the signs of Thy oneness, and make all mankind as stars shining from the same height of glory, as perfect fruits growing upon Thy tree of life.

Verily, Thou art the Almighty, the Self-Subsistent, the Giver, the Forgiving, the Pardoner, the Omniscient, the One Creator." - Abdu'l-Baha

Make Us As Waves (Baha'i Prayer for Unity)

Converging on Canada’s Vancouver Island, songwriter/recording artists Eric Dozier (Harlem Gospel Choir, One Human Family) and JB Eckl (Santana, WAR, Ozomatli) set out to bring their diverse musical backgrounds together for a music-infused devotional experience. Drawing on the Baha’i sacred Writings for lyrics and inspiration, and incorporating elements of soul, rock, Gospel, folk and world music, this first collaboration weaves a rich tapestry of sound at once expansive and intimate, introspective and jubilant.

The Badasht Project seeks to explore how the use of beauty, music and the arts can serve as a catalyst for change, consciousness, revolution, and insight.

Free Yourself

Stay A Little Longer

Verse:
She's sitting by the corner
waiting for the day that I come home
She's sitting by herself,
tears are rolling down her brand new phone
I've been trying really hard to make it back 
But I don't seem to have the time
I've been trying really hard to make it back 
And it's killing me inside.

Chorus:
Baby Please don't leave me
I've been holding on to this for far too long
Baby, Please don't leave me
I've been holding on to this for far too long
So just stay
Stay a little longer for me

Verse:
She's in her room 
She's waiting on her new best friend
He gives her all the attention
All of which with me she never had
And it seems pretty hard for me to accept 
But I guess that's reality now
It seems pretty hard to accept
Baby, won't you stay with me

Chorus
Baby Please don't leave me
I've been holding on to this for far too long
Baby, Please don't leave me
I've been holding on to this for far too long
So just stay
Stay a little longer for me

"Cleanse me with the waters of Thy mercy, O my Lord, and make me wholly Thine, and cause me to approach the Tabernacle of Thy Cause and the adored Sanctuary of Thy Presence.  Ordain, then, for me all the things Thou didst ordain for the chosen ones among Thy handmaidens, and rain down upon me that which will illuminate my face and enlighten my heart."
- Baha’u’llah

O my Lord (x6)

"Waters" by Poppy Villierezz

Sitting with my friends
They’re all laughing
I don’t know what to do 
If their laughter’s hurting others
Is their joy really true

I know my friends are kind
So now I’m trying to find
The reason
Why we’re acting blind 
To our inner eye and feelings

I see I see too much - anxiety
I see I see another - way the world can be
I see I see all these - possibilities
I see I see the path - before me
		
(INSTRUMENTAL) Ooooh

Scrolling through our phones 
Watching others
Wishin we were in their shoes 
Only wanting what they have 
Is our purpose really true

But I understand
Who I really am, 
Is greater
Than all of my desires
I look to what is higher, 
To the Creator

I see I see too much - anxiety
I see I see another - way the world can be		(+oooh) 
I see I see all these - possibilities
I see I see the path - before me

I know my friends are kind
So now I’m trying to find
The reason
Why we’re acting blind 
To our inner eye and feelings

Now I understand
Who I really am,
Is greater
Than all of my desires
I look to what is higher,
To the Creator


I see I see too much - anxiety
I see I see another - way the world can be
I see I see all these - possibilities
I see I see the path - before me

T’imploro, o mio Dio, per la Tua Bellezza che rifulge dall’orizzonte dell’eternità, una Beltà dinanzi alla quale, al Suo rivelarSi, il regno della bellezza s’inchinò adorante decantandoLa con risonanti armonie, di concedere ch’io muoia a tutto ciò che posseggo e viva per tutto ciò che Ti appartiene.
-Baha'u'llah


ENGLISH:

"I beseech Thee, O my God, by Thy Beauty that shineth forth above the horizon of eternity, a Beauty before which as soon as it revealeth itself the kingdom of beauty boweth down in worship, magnifying it in ringing tones, to grant that I may die to all that I possess and live to whatsoever belongeth unto Thee."
