About this listen

A song composed to celebrate the 'Declaration of the Bab', commemorating the birth of the Bahá’í dispensation. The lyrics were composed by Duane Varan but the voices, instruments and musical composition were generated using AI.

The lyrics are as follows:

The Bab paved the way for the Promised One of All Ages

His Revelation ran for over 20,000 pages

And for every page – a martyr gave their life

For every page – His followers suffered in strife

The more they tried – to extinguish His flame

The brighter and brighter - His flame became

He’s the Primal Point – the Harbinger of the light

The Spiritual Luminary – who shone so bright

[Chorus]

And so we join to celebrate with glee

The Bab’s great mission for humanity

The Bab paved the way for the Promised One

So we celebrate His great declaration

[verse]

If knowledge were letters – only two were revealed

In the years before the Bab’s great mission

But with His advent the rest were unsealed

Creating humanity’s new condition

Now every law of nature is defied

The limitations of the past are now set aside

Now there’s no limit to what we can do

Because the Bab ushered in the new age

[Chorus]

And so we join to celebrate with glee

The Bab’s great mission for humanity

The Bab paved the way for the Promised One

So we celebrate His great declaration

The Bab paved the way for the Promised One

So we celebrate His great declaration
