BABA Oh Lyrics by Jonathan Nelson

Fearless

2016

[Verse 1]
I don't know where you are
I know you in the building somewhere
I had a chance to go to, Africa
And, there was a sound
There's a word release called Baba
Which means father
An I heard this young man by the name of Sonnie Badu
Who's absolutely anointed
And he sings something like this

[Chorus]
Open the flood gates, in abundance
And cause your rain to fall on me
Open the flood gates, in abundance
And cause your rain to fall on me

[Verse 2]
We're in your presence let it rain
Oh, your rain (Jesus)
We're in your presence let it rain
Oh, your rain
Let it fall on me (everybody help me say)

[Chorus]
Open the flood gates, in abundance
And cause your rain to fall on me
Open the flood gates (come on everybody lift your voice)
In abundance and cause your rain to fall on me

(Baba oh) Baba oh
(Come on everybody just sing it to him)
Let it rain (baba oh)
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain
(Baba oh)
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain
(Baba oh)
Let it rain let it rain
Let it rain let it rain
(Baba oh)
Let it flow
Let it flow let it flow
Let it flow let it flow
Rain on me rain on me
(baba oh)
Rain on me rain on me
Rain on me rain on me
(Baba oh)
(Come on everybody say open the flood gates)
(Everybody sing)
Open the flood gates, (just you and God) in abundance
(And cause your rain) And cause your rain
To fall on me (to fall on me)
Open the flood gates, in abundance (in abundance)
And cause your rain to fall on me
Say!
(Baba oh) Baba oh
Hey, hey, hey now now
We need some rain
We need some rain
We need it, we need it
Baba oh
Right now, right now, right now right now
Baba oh
Right now, right now not tomorrow right now
Baba oh
Now now now
Baba oh
Now now now
Right now, right now, right now
Baba oh
Right now, right now
Baba oh
(crowd cheering)
America, would you clap your hands
For my new African brother Sonnie Badu
