A song

I have always liked this song though I never really understood it.

Seals and Croft sing it.

They have an interesting history. So I googled and learned a few things about them. They have a bunch of other songs I like too. I heard of them being Baha'i a few years ago.

They are of the Baha'i faith. They reflect their faith in their songs.

Here is the wiki link about Baha'i
Baha'i

In 1973, they wrote a song called "Unborn Child"

It was a reflection of what was happening with Roe vs Wade.

Sadly, I believe it ruined their career.

Here is an interesting link to read about their career and songs.

Seals & Croft

Here is the song Hummingbird.

Oh hummingbird, mankind was waiting for you to come flying along.
Heavenly songbird, we were so wrong. We've harmed you.
Oh hummingbird, lend us your wings. Let us soar in the atmosphere of Abha.
Lift us up to the heaven of holiness, oh source of our being, oh hummingbird.

Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
In you I've found a fragrance. I'll love you 'til I die.
I just love you, love you, love you. I don't even know the reason why.
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
The sweetness of your nectar has drawn me like a fly.
I just love you, love you, love you. I don't even know the reason why. Now,
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.

Haven't you noticed the days somehow keep getting longer?
And the spirit voices linger in us all.
Haven't you noticed the rays? The spirit sun in stronger
And a new day is dawning on us all.

Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
The draught of understanding; wisdom, peace and love is ours.
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
