Fr Stan Fortuna Kumbaya Lyrics

You think it's you against the world, feeling low, getting high,
With supposed friends smokin' dope - no hope.
Drug dealin' thug money livin' life on a tightrope.
Dial a psychic everyday read the horoscope.
Feelin' low can't say no - can't cope.
What if I did it with my little sister's jump rope?
My heart's in pain, it hits me hard with a KO.
Can't sleep, I'm havin' visions of a death blow.
Memories, from long ago...Lord help me, I can't let 'em go.
Where's my friends? I feel lonely with no advocate.
I feel unimportant so inadequate.
Will I ever find a way to get out of it?
Bad feelings gettin' strong, gettin' way too passionate.
I'm losing ground, I'm gettin' real desperate.
Don't wanna act in a way that's inappropriate.
I shut down...run away in isolation.
Somebody help me I can use some affirmation.
I'm tellin' you the truth I got no time for fabrication.
Don't know who I am, what's up with my vocation?
I feel like I'm d___ed with no hope for salvation.
No matter what I do I seem to get aggravation.
I got no one I can trust, nobody to confide.
Life is hard, I feel dissatisfied.
I got too much pride to pay for a homicide.
I'm afraid of heights, can't jump the mountainside.
Don't wanna get bug-eyed and drink pesticide.
Got no car, can't poison me with carbon monoxide.
I'm feelin' so confused, it's a bad time to decide.
Can't help the way I feel, my mind is so preoccupied.
Forget about a shotgun, forget about suicide.
Get lucky cross the street, end it with a hit and run.
Times are bad, will the Son finally come?
Get taken out with the comin' of the third millennium.
Can I eat a stray bullet, kill me with a ricochet?
Too much pain...how can I break away?
Can somebody teach me....can somebody teach me how to pray?
Stop all the hoopla...Kyrie.
Open up my heart, there's a lot of things I got to say.

k__bya My Lord, Pass by my way. Open up my heart,
There's a lot of things I gotta say.
k__bya My Lord, Pass by my way. It's the only way
I overcome everything everyday.

k__bya, My Lord, k__bya. k__bya, My Lord, k__bya.
k__bya, My Lord, k__bya. Oh Lord, k__bya.

You got nothin' to gain, you got nothin' to lose.
Can't take away pain with s__, drugs and booze.
Let the power of His Presence give you strength to refuse.
Get peace, get patience, get yourself the Good News.
Look at the celebrity with big time prosperity.
Fallin' on the floor, can't take it no more.
Livin' to die, knockin' on Heaven's door.
Suffered through the years, shed so many tears.
Wonderin' if there's a place in Heaven for a "G". (gangster)
Wish I had the chance to tell him Christ will set you free.
Everybody knows when you're not livin' well,
When you got no hope, you feel your destiny is hell.
All the stressin' and depression of what you're facin'
Can be turned into a blessin' and release your frustration.
Life is full of pressure, life is full of pain.
Embrace the cross with Christ, peace and happiness will remain.
With a little meditation, you can see the revelation,
Feel the power of the Spirit, you won't need no explanation.
Liberation, jubilation, you can be a new creation.
In Christ overcome all temptation.
Get with it! We need your proclamation.
Modernization, new evangelization.
City-wide, state-wide, nation-wide, world-wide,
With Jesus we get sanctified to overcome suicide.
God be glorified, make the journey inside.
Pray....Pray....Pray for a new day.

k__bya, My Lord, pass by my way.
It's the only way I overcome everything everyday.

k__bya, My Lord, k__bya. k__bya, My Lord, k__bya.
k__bya, My Lord, k__bya. Oh Lord, k__bya.
