Lyrics:
It started from way back in time, men were searching for the Light
One followed all the signs, then he stopped to pray
Trudged beside a wide archway, until a Stranger came
Greeted him (treated him) like a long-lost friend, invited Him to stay
And the Gate unlocked, the Door opened, and the Light came flooding in
The path was set for every step, so we can find our way
And the Light shines bright on Carmel, from the mountain to the bay
And the Light shines bright on Carmel, night and day
We’ve been waiting for so long, trying to hear another song
Now its calling on and on wherever we may be
There’s a place that we can find, Sure to bring peace of mind,
where the sun always shines for all eternity
And the Gate's unlocked, the Door open, and the Light is flooding in
The path is lit for every step, so we can find our way
And the Light shines bright on Carmel, from the mountain to the bay
And the Light shines bright on Carmel, night and day
I am I am, The Promised One
I am I am, The Promised One
I am I am, The Promised One
And the Light shines bright on Carmel, from the mountain to the bay
And the Light shines bright on Carmel, night and day
