A CENTURY AGO

 Music and Lyrics: Marvin Dreyer
This song was inspired as a result of an unexpected reconnection with an old friend.

              F           G7          C                               Am
Over a century ago we baha'is certainly well know
                   F                G                            C
of the extraordinary event that took place here on earth.

             F                G7                  C                  Am
Few people had a clue, but every atom was renewed.

               D7                                      G7
and for mankind there occurred a rebirth.

 

        F                     G7                C                       Am
A rebirth that is to say, we're all living in a new Day.

             F                                 G7                 C                         
A new day announced in the past now has dawned here at last.

                        F                     G7                C                             Am
But so many people are unaware perhaps some may not even care.

                        D7                                          G7
But we've the tools to bring together all mankind.

 

              F                   G7        C                        Am
The transition has begun to unite the world as one.

                     F                             G7
We see the fragments of God's plan,

                C
fall into place here in the world of man

                      F                      G7
But it's up to us to share the news,

              C                          Am
to all society these tools infuse,

                 F                                         G7                    C
assist the sun to shine bright on this wonderful new Day.
