thumb|All the years will come and go Take us up Always up We may never pass this way again. Seals & Crofts were an American soft rock duo formed in 1969 by Jim Seals and Dash Crofts. Both Seals and Crofts were publicly outspoken advocates for the Bahá'í Faith, often including references to it in their songwriting. Quotes Each one of the world’s teachers when they come are misunderstood, and the first thing we do is strike out at them, behead them, hang them on a cross or whatever. Here mankind waits thousands of years for the coming of someone to help the unity of mankind, and then when he comes, they throw him in jail for 40 years and torture him. I was more or less trying to speak for the human race — presumptuous, I know — saying we were sorry. Jim Seals, on the song "Hummingbird" being a metaphoric reference to Bahá'u'lláh and other religious leaders, as quoted in "Passing This Way Again : Seals & Crofts Are Trying Out New Material, Hoping There’s a Place for Them in the ‘90s" by Jim Washburn, Los Angeles Times (26 October 1991) Summer Breeze (1972) thumb|Lift us up To the heaven of holiness Oh source of our being Oh humming……bird Hummingbird don't fly away fly away Hummingbird don't fly away 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 Abhá Lift us up To the heaven of holiness Oh source of our being Oh humming……bird Hummingbird don't fly away fly away Hummingbird don't fly away… "Hummingbird" · Tonight Show performance (1972) See the curtains hangin' in the window In the evening on a Friday night A little light a-shinin' through the window Lets me know everything's all right Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind.
