1.
We are fruits of one tree, one big family we're all a part of one big loving heart fellowship and friendship brings us together it brings happiness we cannot measure live, love, cuz love comes from above
2.
Don't let your greed cover the sight of your heart your hearts like a tart that no one can break apart with envy in your heart it fogs your vision to put love in your heart so you can completes God's mission jealousy breaks bonds of friendship so jealousy is not something to mess with so focus on appreciating what you earn and not just what you yearn your hearts like a magnet that attracts all good fragments so don't be too greedy but don't be too needy with humbleness at your side your'e in for a good ride so people be humble or else the world will crumble
3.
When you reach an age you gotta go on the stage but if you're not on the stage please don't get a rage then you can take it day by day so you can still end up on the page just don't stay home doing your homework so you can go around making people's comb work just look around to find things to do maybe you will find things just like you
4.
The thing with art is when it comes from your heart it'll make you peaceful, decent and smart the thing with craft is it won't make you daft it won't let your brain float away on a raft when you put those things together everything will change even the weather if sometime in your life you fill up with rage put yourself on a fancy stage grab a pen and if your heads spinning 'round uncap the pen and put it all down in learning arts we must develop inner beauty colorful and delicious just like a smoothie there are different kinds of art to choose the right one listen to your heart summon all your power you'll raise higher than a tower
5.
O son of dust verily I say unto thee cooperate with your brothers in perfect harmony enjoy eternal happiness true spiritual reciprocity let's cooperate with each other that's the Baha'i policy don't advance yourself over one another you should love them all and treat them like a brother we should all come together and live in peace then we can go hand in hand to a 19-Day Feast
6.
Knowledge is as wings to man's life but knowledge alone will not suffice it's only the ladder to get to the top to get there you need to go and shop shop for love, unity and patience the ladder will be your ultimate creation but don't think that's all you need cuz there is more to this deed shop for truthfulness, helpfulness intelligence and humbleness when truthfulness is the base you won't fall on your face knowledge always needs a base truthfulness in our case knowledge is as wings to man's life but knowledge alone will not suffice love, unity, patience truthfulness, intelligence, humbleness all part of what you need to build your ladder
7.
All we care about is entertainment we all say things that isn't in reality so please people say what you need if you need some help just say please we should keep our money to save for a rainy days if we don't the forests will all burn away and if we don't spend it the right way all your hard work will wash away the best way to achieve is to set goals what you want might not be what you need but only God knows the true way to believe is to be smart about decisions that you achieve
8.
In my family we have this reality where everyone is one and no one has to run my home is my sanctity cuz my family has unity we know it's not about you or me there's no you, no I, no me, just we if we all come together to work as one we can unite and get things done
9.
If you wanna reach perfection don't need no election do it through a good deed do it voluntarily if you do it cuz you're forced to know that it is not true to attain the spiritual nature in man strive without rest don't stick your head in the sand endeavor with tireless energy to advance humanity toward nobility strain every nerve in your body for inner and outer perfections don't be naughty

about

In October of 2013, there was a Bahá’í junior youth camp held in Huairou, just outside of Beijing, China. During the camp, there were two arts workshops, drama and music. This is the final product of the music workshop, which was based on the book Learning About Excellence. In the music workshop, nine participants got together and created some music around this theme. They each wrote and recorded a rap song based on one chapter of the book.

The camp theme song (We're The J.Y.) was a collaboration between the nine participants and the music workshop animator, Nehemiah. It talks about different aspects of the camp, including the friendships, the studying, the food, the sports, the arts workshops and more. The chorus is about how the junior youth of the world can really make a difference toward creating a better world.
