1978 we lost JP I  The church was prayin “God’s will be done”  All the red hats had to make a trip to Rome  Each one wonderin if he’d make it back home   The cardinals take their place, each in a cell  They pray and discuss - kind-a-like show-and-tell  The prospect of new blood a non-Italian some said none  They overlooked the young brother in cell 91  There he was the chosen one - in cell 91  Nobody ever thought he would be the one  The Holy Ghost was workin - more power than a microwave  Somethin big goin down in St. Peter’s conclave  A son from Poland - from the eastern block  Nobody knew his name –   It’s time for him to lead the flock  A mystic man of deep prayer who knows how to seek and knock  What a shock - a Polock - livin large on the rock    Refrain: Totus Tuus...    Loleck Wujkeck Wotyja what a name  After JPII the church is never gonna be the same  10-16-78 he was 58  The man is connected with the mother of Heaven’s gate  The decision was made went up in white smoke  The whole world knew the Church had a new pope  Marchin-on crossin the threshold of hope  Learned how to see climbin high on a mountain slope  She’s workin over there he’s workin over here  A mother-son combo together ain’t no fear  We can’t make it alone the combat is spiritual  The wall comin down? - believe it it’s a miracle  Evidence? Plenty of it yo it’s empirical.  A Catholic thing - it makes me Vaticanly lyrical.  What an enterprise all the saints he canonized  Totus Tuus got him covered can’t take away the prize  (Refrain)    “Dear young people, do not be content with anything less than the highest   ideals! Do not let yourselves be dispirited by those who are disillusioned   with life and have grown deaf to the deepest and most authentic desires   of the heart. The time has come to re-propose wholeheartedly to everyone   this high standard of ordinary Christian living. Refuse to sell your dreams   cheaply. Watch out for the dangerous ways that lead to passing joys and   satisfaction. Deepen your relationship with God through prayer. Prayer   spreads Divine energy. It makes us live in a new way and gives rise to   a revolutionary evangelical style.”
