    Story Behind the Song
    This is the only song on this CD that was written as a collaboration of band members. It began as a 6\8 time conga beat, working title "Latin Planet." It went through several changes until this arrangement happened. The Arabic lyrics are derived from the book "Kalimat Maknun al-Baha'u'llah" (The Hidden Words Of Baha'u'llah).

    Lyrics
    Ya ibn ar-ruhe fi awal al-qawl
    Emlek qaliban jiyyidan hosnan moniran
    Letemalek malkan dayyan baqiyyan azlan qadiman
    (O Son Of Spirit! Posses a pure kindly and radiant heart, that thine will be a kingdom ancient, pure, and everlasting.)

    If you are the pure of heart
    Your soul will last forever
    If you are impure of heart
    You fail in each endeavor

    Forget the world
    The hearts that are impure
    Detach from worldly vanity
    The kingdom will endure.

    Wallace: vocal, violin, bozouki. Dan: bass. Kirk: drums. Ray: congas.
