Baha'i music from Finland
Star of the North was more a project than a band. The aim was to make an album of original pieces by Finnish Baha'is. This one is the English language version. There is another one in Finnish, ie. Pohjantahti.

Lyrics
My Utopia Music by Pekka Okkonen Lyrics by Harri Peltola Having seen the new light but living in the shadow I hope for something more than a promise of a rainbow People are frightened in our brave new world I’m looking for some action, not just play with words Supermen are gambling, bidding on our future Mind-control, liberation - mankind ‘s the loser The message is seen clearly but it is rendered in error Politicians proclaim a balance of terror And I still have a dream, my utopia of peace and justice I’m building it with you and people of all nations There will be room enough for the left as well as right And we shall be known as the people of the light Children of the South are starving of hunger Third World resources exploited by the stronger Hence the extra surplus, wasted on destruction Nuclear arms preferred to economic reconstruction Supermen are gambling, bidding on our future Ecology, starwars - mankind ‘s the loser The message is seen clearly but it is rendered in error Big business thrives on worldwide terror And I still have a dream, my utopia of peace and justice I’m building it with you and people of all races There will be room enough for blacks as well as whites And we shall be known as the people of the light Guitar Solo by Pekka Okkonen And I still have a dream, my utopia of peace and justice I’m building it with you and people of all views There will be room enough for orthodox and zen And we shall be known as world citizens There will be room enough for orthodox and zen And we shall be known as world citizens
