2. Kumbaya my lord
Kumbaya is a spiritual song that originated in the African American community during the 1930s. The phrase Kumbaya means "Come by Here" in Gullah, a creole language spoken in the Georgia and South Carolina Sea Islands. The song is typically sung as a call-and-response, with the leader singing the verses and the congregation responding with the refrain "Kum ba yah, my Lord, kum ba yah." "Kum ba yah" has become a symbol of peace and unity, and has been used in various social movements, including the Civil Rights Movement.
