Gogan; Kumba Yo!
Guano Apes Lyrics

Kumba ya my Lord kumba ya
Repetitive expression of calling out to the Lord in a moment of spiritual reflection and longing for divine guidance.

Kumba ya my Lord kumba yo
Continued calling out to the Lord with a slightly different expression, reflecting a change in emotional intensity or urgency.

Oh Lord kumba ya
Addressing the Lord specifically and reverently, acknowledging His power and omnipresence.

Go tell it to the mountains that you believe
Encouraging others to openly express their faith and conviction, especially in the face of challenges or opposition.

It's the word of the only commander-in-chief
Stating that faith in the Lord is the ultimate authority and source of guidance, above all human leaders or powers.

He's got the whole world in his hands, just say yo
Acknowledging the all-encompassing power and presence of the Lord, and emphasizing the simplicity of expressing faith through a single word or phrase.

He gotcha by ya balls, swing it low sweet Chariot
Using crude language and imagery to convey a sense of surrender and submission to the Lord's will, even in moments of vulnerability or discomfort.

I was a sinner, a bad girl, Lord pardon me
Confessing past mistakes or transgressions, and seeking forgiveness and redemption from the Lord.

I was deaf, dumb and blind, but know I can't see
Acknowledging a previous state of spiritual ignorance or confusion, and expressing newfound clarity or enlightenment through faith in the Lord.

I'm the A-ko-Christ with my guitar
Asserting one's identity as a devoted follower of Christ, and using music as a means of channeling and expressing faith.

Give it to me Jesus - aha aha
Expressing enthusiasm and joy in one's relationship with the Lord, and asking for continued guidance and blessings.

Can't you feel, whe the faints are marchin' in
Invoking a sense of communal celebration and shared faith, as reflected in the spiritual hymn 'When the Saints Go Marching In.'

You don't know the fucking trouble I've seen
Acknowledging past struggles or hardships, and emphasizing the transformative power of faith in overcoming adversity.

You're the Savior, you're the real big player
Proclaiming the Lord as the ultimate source of salvation and guidance, and emphasizing His importance above all others.

And I'm standing here alone in the need of a prayer
Revealing a sense of personal vulnerability or need for guidance and support from the Lord in a particular moment.

Judgement is coming high
Warning of an impending reckoning or divine judgment, and underscoring the need for spiritual preparation and repentance.

I heard a sucker rumbling in the sky
Using colorful language and imagery to evoke a sense of the divine and otherworldly, and building anticipation for a climactic moment of spiritual revelation.

Kumba kumba a kumba yo
Repeating the earlier expressions of calling out to the Lord, this time with a slightly more urgent or intense tone.

Can't you see the judgement is coming
Reiterating the earlier warning of impending divine judgment, and emphasizing the need for spiritual vigilance and preparation.

You all keep the rhythm of the Lord
Encouraging fellow believers to maintain a sense of spiritual discipline and focus, and to remain in sync with the Lord's will and guidance.

Yeah of course life can be summer
Acknowledging that life can be difficult or challenging at times, but expressing faith in the Lord as a source of comfort and strength.

We are the raiders of the last chord
Asserting a sense of spiritual rebellion or resistance against worldly forces or temptations, and declaring allegiance to the Lord as a final and decisive authority.
