Kumbaya
Kumbaya is a traditional African American song. The title means "Come by here". It is often the last song on the program at a formal campfire, with the last verse or two sung softly as people slowly move away from the campfire circle and into the night.
For Meerkats, it is possible to skip the crying and praying verses to make the song shorter.
