He's known for His trust
His courage and bravery
He came to us, to this world
To take us out of slavery
He grew up fair and radiant
A truthful child, so courteous and kind
When to the Truth He was obedient
He had to leave this world behind
18 letters followed in His Name
They followed His Light, the Heat and the Flame
The King of the Messengers, so He was called
He is the Báb, the Gate of God
He gave His life to show the way
At 30 years He could no longer stay
Yet what He's told us to believe
Will always be what will make us free
18 letters followed in His Name
They followed His Light, the Heat and the Flame
The King of the Messengers, so He was called
He is the Báb, the Gate of God
When the rifles went off, and the smoke disappeared
He was nowhere to see, nowhere to hear
If He were just a man like you and me
Then tell me how He could go back there again
18 letters followed in His Name
They followed His Light, the Heat and the Flame
The King of the Messengers, so He was called
He is the Báb, the Gate of God
18 letters followed in His Name
They followed His Light, the Heat and the Flame
The King of the Messengers, so He was called
He is the Báb, the Gate of God.
The Gate of God
The Gate of God
