"Kumbaya" or "Kumbayah" (Gullah, "Come By Here" — "Kum ba yah") is an African-American spiritual song from the 1930s. It enjoyed newfound popularity during the folk revival of the 1960s and became a standard campfire song in Scouting and nature-oriented organizations. Contemporary use of the song is linked with themes of human and spiritual unity, closeness and compassion. Lyrics: Kum ba yah, my Lord, Kum ba yah Kum ba yah, my Lord, Kum ba yah Kum ba yah, my Lord, Kum ba yah Oh Lord, Kum ba yah. Someone's crying Lord, Kum ba yah (repeat 3 x) Oh Lord, Kum ba yah. Someone's praying Lord, Kum ba yah (x3) Oh Lord, Kum ba yah. Someone's laughing Lord, Kum ba yah (x3) Oh Lord, Kum ba yah. Someone's singing Lord, Kum ba yah (x3) Oh Lord, Kum ba yah.
