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
A Dream and a Hope Music and original lyrics by Pekka Okkonen Lyrics by Harri Peltola In the cool fresh mist of a summer morning I was wandering by the sea Breezes carried away my dreamy mind I adored the flight of a butterfly Accepted the waters’ invitation The sea burst into waves of might My little child appeared on earth, my child of light His eyes so innocent and clear Said: Father, I love Thee dear So much did those words mean in my heart That in tearful eyes I cried we’d never part For you I waited for so long, my child Finally you came and changed my life Awoke me from my sleep and slumber The sky above burst into rays of light My little child appeared on earth, my child of sight His lips with a voice so clear Said: Father, I love Thee dear My world was pierced by rays so bright My little child appeared on earth, my child of light His eyes so innocent and clear Said: Father, I love Thee dear
