I've got a pen and a thought I've got a story trapped deep in my heart I've got a freaky little way to start But it seems the words don't wanna come out I'm feeling a little restless now Who read my soul? Who read my soul and turned away? Who read my soul and turned away? Kumbaya my Lord Kumbaya Kumbaya my Lord but for the record The words don't wanna come out 'cause I'm not feeling very holy now I've got a pen and a thought But I'm scared to write the words for the power they'd impart I've got a lot of careless things to say I've got a lot of minds to mold my way Who read my soul? Who read my soul and turned away? Who read my soul and turned away? Kumbaya my Lord Kumbaya Kumbaya my Lord but for the record The words don't wanna come out 'cause I'm not feeling very holy now Who read my soul and turned away Because they didn't have the time For more than just a smile And a have a nice day True love, it comes from above And I don't expect it but A little bit It would be fine with me It would be fine with me Kumbaya my Lord Kumbaya Kumbaya my Lord but for the record The words don't wanna come out 'cause I'm not feeling very holy now Lord come quickly, 'cause I'm falling down You better catch hold, 'cause I'm not gonna catch hold Lord I'm running never to be found Unless you catch hold, 'cause I'm not gonna catch hold Lord come quickly, 'cause I'm falling down You better catch hold, 'cause I'm not gonna catch hold Lord I'm running never to be found Unless you catch hold, 'cause I'm not gonna catch hold
