Seals & Crofts - Year of Sunday lyrics

(lyrics and music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1971)

From the album YEAR OF SUNDAY (1972).

We all live in the Year of Sunday, so many things are in store for us.

Oh what a gift to be born in Sunday's beautiful light way down here in the dusk.

People, return to the tree of oneness, oh won't you hurry the Presence is there.

Down on our knees in the darkness of Sunday, we'll find the answers to all of our prayers.

And then everyday will be Sunday, for you and me. How I pray! How I pray!

God made a pact with Abraham, never leave a man alone.

So Abraham gathered his family, and brought his people home.

Along came Moses, gave the world a push. Climbed upon a mountain high.

He got the Ten Commandments from a burning bush and put together his first tribe.

Then came Jesus to Jerusalem, ridin' on His shoulder a dove.

The dove upon his shoulder said he was the One, the One to teach us how to love!

Mohammed stayed out in the desert sun, stayed out there just as long as he could.

The Maker gave him water from the River of Life, and then he gave us nationhood.

And then time passed, soon the dark clouds, came and covered up Mohammed's sun.

But the young Báb, down in Persia land, came to tell us of the Promised One.

(From Baha'i Scripture) "Lo, the nightengale of paradise

Singeth upon the twig of the Tree of Eternity.

With holy and sweet melodies,

Proclaiming to the sincere ones the glad tidings of the nearness of God."

Bahá'u'lláh! Bahá'u'lláh! Bahá'u'lláh! Bahá'u'lláh!

We all live in the Year of Sunday, so many things are in store for us.

Oh what a gift to be born in Sunday's beautiful light way down here in the dusk.

We all live in the Year of Sunday, so many things are in store for us.

Oh what a gift to be born in Sunday's beautiful light way down here in the dusk. . ..
