Featuring over 400 singers and instrumentalists from 38 countries and territories across the globe, 'Waves' is a happy celebration of the unified diversity of the human race. The lyrics are a quotation from the Baháʼí sacred writings that express a longing for humanity to become united as waves of one sea, and flowers of one garden.
(some videos were filmed before the global pandemic)
► Lyrics:
"Make us as waves of the sea, as flowers of the garden, united, agreed through the bounties of Thy love...
...make all mankind as stars shining from the same height of glory, as perfect fruits growing upon Thy tree of life"
-‘Abdu’l-Bahá

This deserves to be played on the radio all the time, if this was the kind of thing playing in the background in shops cafes pubs the work place etc, young people just might want to be like the people in this video rather than angry gangsters 🙏🏻
I completely agree, we need more positive influence in the arts!
🙏🏻
I clicked as soon as I saw this I’m soooo excited
Ali, God bless you. Our world really needs unity.❤
What a beautiful religion of this golden age ❤😅
So many non-baha'i friends of my mother loved the song/video and commented "this is so refreshing."
I'm so glad everyone likes it ☺️🙏
