KUMBAYA (Album: Faithgroove)
by Faith Rivera & Zuriani
Arise from my peaceful sleeping. Flip back my locks & my worrying.
A thought of gratefulness is seeping, encompassing my whole being.
I will not confess I am any less - I'm a creator.
Hey it's up to me - I'm counting 1,2,3 & "Poof" it's there.
It goes something like this…
All that you think, say, & do shapes the world with your truth
(KUMBAYA, Thank You God)
Accept & bless all you've made my friend & tomorrow you can choose again
(KUMBAYA, Thank You God, KUMBAYA)
I used to pray make real my dreamings. Fill my needs, fix my longing.
My thoughts of lack shot out into space duplicating my "not enoughness" into being.
If you come from need then Need will be the seed of your story.
But if you come from faith then you can create (with no fear) - oh ours is the glory…forever
(chorus)
KUMBAYA, Thank You Allah, Thank Buddah, Thank You Krishna
KUMBAYA, Thank You Brother, Thank You Sister, Thank You Nature
If you come from need then need will be the seed of your story.
If you come from faith then everything will be great - oh ours is the glory…forever
(chorus)
KUMBAYA, Thank You Allah, Thank Buddah, Thank You Krishna
KUMBAYA, Thank You Brother, Thank You Sister, Thank You Nature
KUMBAYA, Thank You Oprah, Thank You Mother, Thank You Dali Lama
KUMBAYA, Thank You Teacher, Holy Chakra, Thank You Papa
KUMBAYA, Thank You God, KUMBAYA
