Lyrics
Kumba ya-ya
Oh my soul, of my whole ya-ya-ya
Price so right, my whole ya-ya-ya
Born into this world a baby
Your mind is clear as the air
Time passes
(You learn to walk and talk)
Time passes
(You learn right from wrong)
Time passes
You leave home seeking a life of your own
I'm tellin' you the natural facts
For what it's worth
Listen to me, people
Make your own heavens and hell
Right here on Earth
Let me tell you, I'm tellin' you the natural facts
For what it's worth
You make you own heaven and hell
Right here on Earth
(On Earth, on Earth, on Earth)
(Time passes)
And your values change
Life becomes a strange, confusing game
Suddenly, you want the finer things in life
But you find it takes a lots of hard work to sacrifice
Now you're standing at the crossroads of life
(To satisfy your personal wants)
Will you do wrong or will you do right?
One thing you must admit and you know it's true
The final decision is still up to you
I'm tellin' you the natural facts for what it's worth
Listen to me people
You make your own heaven and hell
Right here on Earth
Let me tell you one more time
(I'm tellin' you the natural facts for way this world)
You make your own heaven and hell
Right here on Earth (on Earth, on Earth, on Earth)
Listen people, life is a giant, invisible scale with two sides
Good and bad
You and your beliefs
Are the weights
The things you do each day determine the balance
Your conscience is a flawless judge and jury
The only question is what you want
Tellin' you the natural facts for what it's worth
Listen to me people
You make your own heaven and hell
Right here on Earth
Let me tell you one more time
I'm tellin' you the natural facts for what it's worth
You make your own heaven and hell
Right here on Earth
Listen to me people
I'm tellin' you the natural facts for what it's worth
You make your own heaven and hell
Right here on Earth
