FULL SAMPLE SONG
Truth Detective.MP3
[Verse 1]
Hey everybody, gather around
I’ve got a secret that we just found
In the Bahá’í teachings there’s something cool
A special idea, a precious tool
It’s called the Independent Search for Truth
And guess what, it belongs to you
[Verse 2]
Have you ever dreamed you could be
A detective solving a mystery
Looking for clues, asking why
Searching for answers far and wide
Well guess what friends, here’s something true
That superpower lives in you
[Chorus]
Be a truth detective, open your eyes
Look for the answers, ask how and why
Use your mind, your heart, your light
Search for the truth with all your might
Don’t just follow what others say
Find the truth in your own way
[Verse 3]
You’ve got tools that are strong and bright
A curious mind and a heart of light
Ask good questions, look and see
Think about things thoughtfully
Science and reason can help you know
Which seeds of truth will truly grow
[Bridge]
When you search for truth so free
You help the whole world live in unity
No more prejudice, no divide
Just truth and friendship side by side
[Final Chorus]
Be a truth detective, brave and wise
See the world with wondering eyes
Every mind and every heart
Has a special truth-filled part
So grab your hat, the adventure’s begun
Let’s explore the truth as one
