I am elated to finally share with you ‘Waves of One Sea’. This piece has taken months to record and features 5 singers in 6 languages and includes many talented musicians around the world.
There are 2 versions – the audio version for download and the global singalong youtubevideo which includes 240 participants from 44 countries and regions.
Every time I watch the video I am moved to tears seeing such radiant and diverse faces from different corners of the world. It gives me goosebumps when everyone sings ‘Ye are all the leaves of one tree, Ye are all the waves of one sea’ in the choruses.

Lyrics
English: Let your heart burn with loving kindness
for all who may cross your path.
Swahili: Acha moyo wako uwake kwa wema
kwa wale wote wanaoweza kupita njia yako.
Spanish: No os contentéis con demostrar amistad sólo con palabras;
dejad que vuestro corazón se encienda con amorosa bondad hacia todos los que se crucen en vuestro camino.
Chinese: 要让你的心为所有你遇到的人燃烧出炽热的爱火。
Yao rang ni de xin wei suo you ni yu dao de ren ran shao chu chi re de ai huo.
Italian: Fate che il vostro cuore sia pieno di amorevole gentilezza per tutti quelli che incontrate sul vostro cammino.
French: Que votre coeur soit embrasé par une affectueuse bonté envers tous ceux qui peuvent croiser votre chemin.
-‘Abdu’l-Bahá
Chorus:
Ye are all the leaves of one tree.
Ye are all the waves of one sea
– ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
