Lyrics
In the light, in the light of Amala
(Celebrate the light of Amala)
In the light, in the light of Amala
(Celebrate the light of Amala)
Once stood a tree in the Kingdom of Amala
Brilliant as diamond and flame
Joyous and free were the people of Amala
Greeting each day as it came
And everywhere music
In bright symphony
And the people all flourished
In the light of the tree
In the light, in the light of Amala
(Celebrate the light of Amala)
In the light, in the light of Amala
(Celebrate the light of Amala)
Over the years all the people of Amala
Let human nature unfold
Taking for granted the tree and each other
They moved from their kingdom of gold
They grew ever distant
And all through the land
The waters rushed into
Lines drawn in the sand
In the light, in the light of Amala
(Celebrate the light of Amala)
In the light, in the light of Amala
(Celebrate the light of Amala)
The brilliance had faded
A vague memory
And deep into legend
Fell the light of the tree
Now when you see them the people of Amala
Live in the dimmest of days
Far from the tree, not a soul can remember
The feel of its warm golden blaze
They made a decision
To keep them alive
The tree must be broken
And brought back to each tribe
In the light, in the light of Amala
(Celebrate the light of Amala)
In the light, in the light of Amala
(Celebrate the light of Amala)
REPRISE:
Now stands a tree in the Kingdom of Amala
Brilliant as ever before
Joyous and free are the people of Amala
Living in light now restored
The future looks brighter
As bright as can be
For a people united
In the light of the tree
In the light, in the light of Amala
(Celebrate the light of Amala)
In the light, in the light of Amala
(Celebrate the light of Amala)
Celebrate the light that shines on now and evermore
And fills our days and gives us life
And warms our hearts and soothes our souls
So come and celebrate the light of Amala
