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
