THE BÁB
(lyrics and music by James Seals, n.d.)
From the album LOTE TREE (ca. 1980).
In Shiráz hear the trumpets sound, with the snows of winter still on the ground.
There is a young man with a turban green. He is God's springtime the promised Qa'im.
He must tell the people this is the promised day.
God has sent His messenger and He, He is the gate.
He's come to teach the clergy for they have lost their way.
They have no eyes, they have no ears, they will not hear Him say.
He'll give His life in Tabriz for the one to follow Him.
Oh, wayward generation, had ye but believed.
He is the Báb.

GARDEN OF RIDVÁN
(lyrics and music by James Seals and Jim Poggensee, n.d.)
From the album LOTE TREE (ca. 1980).
I used to see Him, rapt in meditation, walking on the banks of the Tigris.
In the streets and cafes of Baghdad, talking with the friends, who gathered there.
I followed Him to the Garden, where His mission was declared.
I wept as the souls gathered around Him, as I listened to His prayers.
Bahá'u'llá'h, Most Great Name. Bahá'u'llá'h, We'll all proclaim.
Bahá'u'llá'h, Most Great Light. Bahá'u'llá'h, You gave Your life for me.
Constantinople, Adrianople, Akká, Israel by the sea.
To these prisons they banished Bahá'u'llá'h, fulfilling prophecies.
Homeless pilgrims tired and hungry, I watch them set out 'cross the sand.
I too walked all the way from Persia, to catch a glimpse of His hand.
Bahá'u'llá'h, Most Great Name. Bahá'u'llá'h, We'll all proclaim.
Bahá'u'llá'h, Most Great Light. Bahá'u'llá'h, You gave Your life for me.
