“Man of Two Visions” by Benjamin, Sina & Saba

Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Seattle, USA with Sina Najafi, Saba Najafi and Ben Spriggs singing “Man of Two Visions” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in Seattle, USA, August 2019.

Here is the quotation used for the lyrics, followed by the chords and lyrics below:

“O MAN OF TWO VISIONS! Close one eye and open the other. Close one to the world and all that is therein, and open the other to the hallowed beauty of the Beloved.”

– Baha’u’llah
