Bahá’í Tunes

An exploration of key themes in the Ridvan 2026 message of the Universal House of Justice to the Baha'is of the World.  The song includes a number of lines directly quoting from the message.  The lyrics were composed by Dr. Duane Varan but the musical composition, instruments and vocals were AI-facilitated.

The lyrics are as follows:

[verse]

We launch into the greater phase of the Plan
With confidence, conviction and clarity
Undaunted by the world’s swelling turmoil
Helping chart the course for a lost humanity

As community emerges - as a more conspicuous part of the Plan
With a culture of agency and support hand in hand
Our youth lead the charge – against a world of conflict and divide
They resist the impulse to condemn – [both] serving side by side

[Chorus]

[choir]
We need to be swift to act – and eager to learn
With new patterns of action – new patterns to discern
It’s time for a Profound insightful conversation
A shaping of actions, interactions and aspirations

[verse]


Hope is a scarce and precious resource
But we have conviction for humanity
We’re ever hopeful and firm in our hope
Because through experience we see a higher reality

Our Persian believers shelter the flame of hope [Ney accent]
They’re ever patient, resilient and true
As they serve their neighbors – and help them cope
Committed to principle – in all they do

[Chorus]

[choir]
We need to be swift to act – and eager to learn
With new patterns of action – new patterns to discern
It’s time for a Profound insightful conversation
A shaping of actions, interactions and aspirations

It’s time for a Profound insightful conversation
A shaping of actions, interactions and aspirations
