(LYRICS)
Words & Music by Bob Ryan (c)2003
*"God is sufficient unto me
He verily is the All-sufficing
In Him let the trusting trust"
From Niyavaran to Tihran,
they made Him run
Chained, shoeless, His head bared,
they made Him run
He that embodied spirit
He Who’d been accustomed to repose
against cushions of ornamental silk
Down under the ground
in the thick darkness
of that narrow dungeon
With murderers, rebels and thieves
they shut Him down in the darkness
they chained Him down.
How many a night when He was chained
Sleepless because of the
weight of His collar
How many a night the burning pain
of the stocks and fetters
gave Him no moment’s peace
*Excerpts form the Baha'i Sacred Writings
