lyrics

CHORUS: Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Abraham, Moses,
Christ, Muhammad, the Bab, Baha’u’llah –
the spirit’s the same.
Baha’u’llah teaches for today, tells us to look to the spirit,
not to worship the name.

1. We've got automobiles, we've got electric lights,
We can fly all around and see all kinds of sights,
World movements for human rights,
we can even take a trip to the moon.
Let's go! Let’s take a trip to the moon!
Now some people say these are terrible times,
But it's a brand new world, friends, these are the signs,
This life’s too great to just resign, investigate soon.

2. What are these truths that we all should seek?
How about a language that we all can speak?
Male and female equality, all kinds of prejudice is wrong.
That's right! Prejudice is always wrong!
Religion and science both agree about the oneness of humanity,
God’s faith should bring harmony, just like this song.

3. Honesty, integrity, chastity, humility -
Our actions should bring unity, we ought to shine like a star,
So that when we're walking up and down the street,
All the people around can plainly see
That our words and our actions both agree,
And they'll know who we are.
