Bahá’í Tunes

Song exploring the theme of 'Constructive Resilience', a term coined by the Universal House of Justice to describe the response of the Baha'is in Iran to systematic persecution.  The lyrics are composed by Dr. Duane Varan while the musical composition, vocals and instrumentation are all AI-facilitated.

The lyrics to the song are as follows:

No matter how bleak the immediate horizons
No matter how dark things may seem
While we obey our oppressor’s rule
It is our Faith that stands supreme

We neither succumb in resignation
Nor imitate the patterns we reject
We walk through every storm of trial
Faithful to our character, in every respect


[chorus]
Like the organs of a body, 
Each part different but aligned
Through our constructive resilience 
A new pattern you will find

Our conscious can’t be stilled 
Because our destiny will be fulfilled

[bridge]
Constructive resilience
Constructive resilience

[verse]
It’s an unbroken record of service
With means consistent with its ends
It’s an integrity that is never shaken
As we serve our fellow friends

Because no matter how dark the horizon
No matter how grim the day at hand
We know our future is bright and luminous
As all will celebrate the Persian land

[chorus]
Like the organs of a body, 
Each part different but aligned
Through our constructive resilience 
A new pattern you will find

Our conscious can’t be stilled 
Because our destiny will be fulfilled

[bridge]
Constructive resilience
Constructive resilience

Constructive resilience
Constructive resilience
