Hummingbird

Seals & Crofts



Oh Hummingbird, mankind was

waiting for you to come

flying along

Heavenly Songbird we were so

wrong, we've harmed you

Oh Hummingbird, lend us your

wings

Let us soar in the atmosphere of

Abha

"Lift us up to the Heaven of

Holiness

Oh Source of our being!"* --Oh,

Hummingbird



Hummingbird don't fly away,

fly away

Hummingbird don't fly away,

fly away

In you I found a fragrance

I'll love you till I die

I just love you, love you, love you

I don't even know the reason why.



Hummingbird don't fly away,

fly away

Hummingbird don't fly away,

fly away

The sweetness of your "Nectar"

Has drawn me like a fly

I just love you, love you, love you

I don't even know the reason why

now



Hummingbird don't fly away,

fly away

Hummingbird don't fly away,

fly away



Haven't you noticed the days

somehow keep getting longer

And the spirit-voices whisper in

us all

Haven't you noticed the rays

The "Spirit Sun" is stronger

And a "New Day" is dawning for

us all.



Hummingbird don't fly away,

fly away

Hummingbird don't fly away,

fly away

Alas here comes the "Gardener"

He's come to till the flowers

The draught of understanding,

wisdom, peace and love is ours.



Hummingbird don't fly away,

fly away

Hummingbird don't fly away,

fly away

Don't fly away, don't fly away...



*From the Baha'i Scriptures
