Lyrics

Eeeeeeee
Eeeeee
Baba ye oyaa yaa
Nilipotoka Ni mbali 
Wala Sitatafakari  
Sitakumbuka ya kale kalee


Unafanya Jambo jipya
Ata Sasa linachipuka
Na machozi kunifuta Yahweh 
Ooooh baba Oooh
Baba eeeeh Baba oooo


Ukanifunza kukusifu
Mchana na Usiku
Na majeraha yangu Baba ukaitibu
Kama vile Mtoto hutoka kwa mama
Ndivyo Baba unavyonibembeleza
Nasema Asante


Asante Baba kwa kuniwazia Mema
Asante Baba unaniwazia Mema
Shukurani shukurani
Kwa msalaba na damu na maji ukanifanya kuwa mwana
Umeniweka juu ya yote juu ya mwamba


Kwenye Giza Mimi naangaza 
Oooooh Baba ooooh
Baba ooooh Baba eeeeee
Mamlaka mbele ya adui zangu 
Ushindi mbele ya adui zangu 


Eti Kama mboo Ni la jicho lako
Utachota naye anayechota nami
Umenipa kila kitu ata uzima wa milele
Asante Baba kwa kuniwazia Mema


Shukurani shukurani shukurani
You are worthy to be praised 
Asante Baba kwa kuniwazia Mema aaeee 
Shukurani shukurani shukurani

Meaning & Inspiration

Baba centers on thanksgiving to God as a caring Father who restores, comforts, and gives his child a new beginning. The singer looks away from former things and recognizes that God is doing something new, wiping away tears and healing wounds. Images of being held like a child and established upon a rock give the song a personal language of safety, belonging, and renewed strength.

Gratitude becomes the song’s main response to grace. The lyrics connect praise with both day and night, then remember the cross, cleansing, eternal life, and victory over darkness. Their movement from distant beginnings to light and authority presents salvation as a complete change of identity. The repeated thanks are therefore more than a refrain; they express confidence in God’s goodness and care. Isaiah’s words about a new thing and the Psalms’ description of divine healing closely reflect these themes without requiring claims beyond the lyric itself.
