"How Long" video for Naw Ruz!

- I wanted to present a gift for Naw Ruz (1st day of Spring) in the form of this following video. It shows the beauty and diversity of humanity, as well as the willingness of members of the Baha'i community to participate in a creative project such as this one.
It all started when I wanted to record a song I wrote for my children's class many years ago, and ended up working with a multiple-award winning producer, Paul Mills, to record the song. I invited children (Lydia Boone, Adina Innis and, Helen and Racin Jaberi) to join me on the recording (you will see a clip of them singing at his studio- it's the one with the platinum awards on the walls) and then decided it might be fun to make a montage video. Shadi Rukiza encouraged me to make it a project to show at the Naw Ruz celebration, and so it all began!
With the help of Shadi and Hossein, we went to a number of Baha'i activities and holy days, including 4 Ayyam-i-Ha parties in one weekend, 2 feasts, one Junior youth group and the "Faith and Action" conference. What a pleasure it was to attend these events and invite everyone to take part in this video! Thank you to all those who participated so joyfully to made this possible!
After over 15 hours of editing and multiple computer crashes later, the rough vision I had in mind came to reality in the form of this video. I know it's not perfect, but I hope it gives you a sense of the richness of the community and I hope it inspires you to participate any of the wonderful activities Baha'is around the world have to offer, or perhaps it might inspire you to work on a community project of your own! Please enjoy, "How Long" :)
Lyrics + Chords:
How Long (By Roxanne Andrighetti)
C Am F G
How long before the world is one family
C Am F G
How long before we learn to live in harmony
F G C G Am
With war nobody wins, with peace we'll all be freed
F G
From all this hate, injustice and this greed
C G F G
I have a dream, I hope it will come true
C G F G
We'll work as a team, I know that we'll get through
F G C G Am
These troubles that we've had will soon all go away
F G
The people raise their voices and they say
(Chorus) + Instrumental
C Am F G
I am a human I know that you are too
C Am F G
Although we might be different, we're family it's true
F G C G Am
I'll love you as my friend, I'll be there till the end
F G
When all is done we'll see our dreams come true (x2)
Chorus
F G F C F C
Who needs this hate, injustice and this greed? Not me (x3)
