Fr. Stan Fortuna - Cell 91 lyrics
rate me1978 we lost JP I<br />
The church was prayin “God’s will be done”<br />
All the red hats had to make a trip to Rome<br />
Each one wonderin if he’d make it back home <br />
The cardinals take their place, each in a cell<br />
They pray and discuss - kind-a-like show-and-tell<br />
The prospect of new blood a non-Italian some said none<br />
They overlooked the young brother in cell 91<br />
There he was the chosen one - in cell 91<br />
Nobody ever thought he would be the one<br />
The Holy Ghost was workin - more power than a microwave<br />
Somethin big goin down in St. Peter’s conclave<br />
A son from Poland - from the eastern block<br />
Nobody knew his name – <br />
It’s time for him to lead the flock<br />
A mystic man of deep prayer who knows how to seek and knock<br />
What a shock - a Polock - livin large on the rock<br />
<br />
Refrain: Totus Tuus...<br />
<br />
Loleck Wujkeck Wotyja what a name<br />
After JPII the church is never gonna be the same<br />
10-16-78 he was 58<br />
The man is connected with the mother of Heaven’s gate<br />
The decision was made went up in white smoke<br />
The whole world knew the Church had a new pope<br />
Marchin-on crossin the threshold of hope<br />
Learned how to see climbin high on a mountain slope<br />
She’s workin over there he’s workin over here<br />
A mother-son combo together ain’t no fear<br />
We can’t make it alone the combat is spiritual<br />
The wall comin down? - believe it it’s a miracle<br />
Evidence? Plenty of it yo it’s empirical.<br />
A Catholic thing - it makes me Vaticanly lyrical.<br />
What an enterprise all the saints he canonized<br />
Totus Tuus got him covered can’t take away the prize<br />
(Refrain)<br />
<br />
“Dear young people, do not be content with anything less than the highest <br />
ideals! Do not let yourselves be dispirited by those who are disillusioned <br />
with life and have grown deaf to the deepest and most authentic desires <br />
of the heart. The time has come to re-propose wholeheartedly to everyone <br />
this high standard of ordinary Christian living. Refuse to sell your dreams <br />
cheaply. Watch out for the dangerous ways that lead to passing joys and <br />
satisfaction. Deepen your relationship with God through prayer. Prayer <br />
spreads Divine energy. It makes us live in a new way and gives rise to <br />
a revolutionary evangelical style.”
