Kum-Ba-Ya- (Interlude) - Lyrics by Stacie Orrico


Lyrics

I see you pass me by
I don't know where
I don't know why
I choose to go the way that I chose
And now
You've been a friend of mine
For many years
For many times
But I just saw you today
So what's on your mind

You just won't speak about it
Think about it
Be about it
Gotta make yourself aware that
You're going astray

You're trying so hard to fit in

What you need is something genuine
What you want is something real
What you need is something truthful
I know you do, I know you do, I know you do
Because I need it too.

You cry yourself to sleep
Sleep at night but once the night is gone
You prepare a face; a brand new day
You hide yourself behind
A mastermind you're in disguise
It's as if you're trying to put a mask on your ...
You don't know who you are
What you're about
Where are you now?
You're becoming someome that you don't want to be

You're trying so hard to fit in

What you need is something genuine
What you want is something real
What you need is something truthful
I know you do, I know you do, I know you do
Because I need it too.

He loves you for who you are now
And who you will be
Don't think even truth is reality
I don't have all the answers but
I know no-one ever dies
I know that freedom and truth
I go to him because

What you need is something genuine
I know you do
What you need is something truthful

What He has is something genuine
Who He is is someone real
What He gives is something truthful
It's what He has, It's who He is
It's what He is
And I need him too

What He has is something genuine
Who He is is someone real
What He gives is something truthful
It's what He has, It's who He is
It's what He is
And I need him too

Do you know what you need?
Do you know what you need?
I know what you need
'Cause I, I need it too
Something genuine
He's something genuine
