Lyrics
Intro
Mbele ninaendelea ninazidi kutembea
maombi uyasikie eeh bwana unipandishe
Chorus
Ee bwana uniinue, kwa imani nisimame,
nipande milima yote ee bwana unipandishe
Verse 1
Si natamani nikae mahali pa shaka kamwe
hapo wengi wanakaa kuendelea naomba
Nisikae duniani ni mahali pa shetani
natazamia mbinguni nitafika kwa imani
Chorus
Ee bwana uniinue, kwa imani nisimame,
nipande milima yote ee bwana unipandishe
Verse 2 (x2)
Nataka nipandishwe juu zaidi yale mawingu
nitaomba nifikishwe ee bwana unipandishe
Chorus
Ee bwana uniinue, kwa imani nisimame,
nipande milima yote ee bwana unipandishe

Meaning & Inspiration
Built around a short, repeated plea, the song asks to be lifted rather than claiming the height has already been reached: "ee bwana uniinue" — Lord, lift me up — paired with a request to stand firm by faith and climb every mountain. That image of ascent by divine enabling recalls Habakkuk 3:19's confidence that God makes the worshiper's feet like the feet of a deer, able to tread on the heights rather than merely admire them from below.
The verses name a specific refusal alongside the request: not wanting to remain in a place of doubt, described as territory belonging to the accuser, choosing instead to keep moving forward in faith toward heaven. That forward motion echoes Paul's language in Philippians 3:14 of pressing on toward a goal rather than settling into a fixed position. The song's brevity mirrors its content: a short, repeated request rather than an extended argument, content to keep asking rather than to declare the asking finished.
