On Crystal Blue Persuasion: There will be peace and brotherhood

Crystal Blue Persuasion, a day-lily variety

"Crystal Blue Persuasion"

(Tommy James and The Shondells)

Lyric:
Look over yonder
What do you see?
The sun is a'rising
Most definitely
A new day is coming
People are changing
Ain't it beautiful
Crystal blue persuasion
Better get ready
To see the light
Love, love is the answer
And that's all right
So don't you give up now
So easy to find
Just look to your soul
Open your mind
Crystal blue persuasion
Mmm, mmm-mmm
It's a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion
Crystal... blue persuasion
Maybe tomorrow
When he looks down
On every green field
And every town
All of his children
And every nation
They'll be peace and good brotherhood
Crystal blue persuasion
Yeah
Crystal blue persuasion
Aha
Crystal blue persuasion
Aha
Crystal blue persuasion
Aha

This song is a blast from the past, at least for someone my age, as it dates back to the late 60's. There are Baha'i songs and there are "Baha'i" songs, and all have a usefulness for conveying the spirit of the Faith. This is one of a multitude of songs that moves me spiritually and may be of use in teaching the Baha'i Faith when incorporated into the Baha'i practices of devotional meetings, children's classes, and study circles. -gw
