(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 lReveal to me, the mystery
Can you tell me what it means?
Explain, these motions and metaphors
Unlock these secrets in me
Describe the vision the meaning is missing
Or is there anybody listening...?
Define, the riddles of my mind
Nothing is really what it seems
Dreaming of Zion awake
Sleeping awake...
Dreaming of Zion awake
Can't stop sleeping awake
Do you see what I see?
Do you hear what I hear
Do you feel what I feel
Can't stop sleeping awake
Do you see what I see?
Do you hear what I hear
Do you feel what I feel
Can't stop sleeping...
Can you, see it - the writing
Can you tell me what it means?
Translate, the symbol's and make my
Expressions keep questioning me
The message that slips in the meaning is missing
Or is there anybody listening...
Prophecy
Can solve it in these signs
Nothing is really what it seems...
Dreaming of Zion awake
Sleeping awake...
Dreaming of Zion awake
Can't stop sleeping awake
Do you see what I see?
Do you hear what I hear
Do you feel what I feel
Can't stop sleeping awake
Do you see what I see?
Do you hear what I hear
Do you feel what I feel
Can't stop sleeping awake...
Do you see, what I see
Can you hear what I hear
Do you see what I see
Can you hear what I hear
Do you feel like I feel
Can you do my guide drill
Do you see what I see
Can you hear what I hear
Do you feel like I feel
Do you do what I do
Can anybody see me?!
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody feel me?!
IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE!?
Dreaming of Zion awake
Sleeping awake
Dreaming of Zion awake
Can't stop sleeping awake
Do you see what I see
Can you hear what I hear
Can you feel what I feel
Can't stop sleeping awake
Can you see what I see
Can you hear what I hear
Do you feel like I feel
Can't stop sleeping awake
