On "Baha'i" Songs: An Invitation to Oneness

I've done a lot of dj-ing over the past decade, but hardly any since I began...blogging. I've collected a lot of songs. When I used to be the D(evotional) J(ockey) for the monthly devotional meeting for our Baha'i community, I would look for songs that had that "Baha'i" feeling to them. There are Baha'i songs and their are "Baha'i" songs. Below is one of the latter.

When I hear it I think of all of humanity. Some people choose to separate the world into an "us" and a "them." "You are not me, and I am better than you," is how the thinking goes. As Baha'i's see it, we all swim in the same pool. To those who see themselves as separate, I say, "Come on it, the water is fine."

Are You In, by Incubus

It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?

Ooh ooh
Are you in?
You ooh
Are you in?
It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
It's so much easier
When sea foam green
Is in fashion
You you, oh
Are you in?
You ooh ooh ooh
Are you in?
Are you are you are you
Are you are you are you
(Everybody everybody in)
(Ooh ooh ooh)
You ooh
Are you in?
You ooh
Ooh
