This song was filmed and recorded in Helsinki, Finland, November 2016.
Lyrics & Quote
Have patience; wait; but do not sit idle. Work while you are waiting; smile when you are wearied with monotony; be firm while everything around you is being shaken. Be joyous while the ugly face of despair grins at you […] Continue your journey to the end. The bright day is coming.
Abdu’l-Baha
