Look at me,
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
Feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand,
I get misty just holding your hand.

Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play
Might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear,
I get misty the moment you're near

And you can see that you're leading me on
And it's just, and it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.

On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love.


And you can see that you're leading me on
And it's just, and it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.

On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love
I get too misty, and too much in love

Dans cette vidéo, Dr Luyaluka aborde le sujet de la religion kôngo, le Bukôngo, sous l'angle de sa nature en tant que science exacte et montre ses implications dans les domaines de la cosmogonie, de là cosmologie et de la spiritualité. Il souligne le retour à la scientificité de la religion traditionnelle négro-africaine comme base de la renaissance solaire ou l'éveil scientifique et technologique des Noirs comme prophétisé par Simon Kimbangu.
