Bwana naomba
hatua nyingine
Lord I pray for another step

mbona niliota ndoto tu
najikuta shimoni mi
why did I just dream dreams only to find myself in the pit

hatua nyingine
another step

nimeuzwa eh
kwa Wamisri mie
I was sold eh to the Egyptians me

hatua nyingine
another step

Bwana naomba
hatua nyingine
Lord I pray another step

Bwana naomba
hatua nyingine
Lord I pray another step

kutoka nyumba ya Potifa eh
hadi gerezani eh
from Potiphar’s house eh to prison eh

hatua nyingine
another step

bado nafasiri ndoto tu
uendako unikumbuke mie
still interpreting dreams only, wherever you go remember me

hatua nyingine
another step

Bwana naomba
hatua nyingine
Lord I pray another step

eeeh Bwana
eeeh Lord

Bwana naomba
hatua nyingine
Lord I pray another step

Bwana naomba
hatua nyingine
Lord I pray another step

Bwana naomba
hatua nyingine
Lord I pray another step

hatua elfu moja
huanza na moja
eh Bwana aah
eeeeh
a thousand steps begins with one eh Lord aah eeeeh

Bwana naomba
hatua nyingine
Lord I pray another step

The song draws directly from the story of Joseph in Genesis 37–41 (especially Genesis 37:23-28 for the pit and being sold to Egyptians, Genesis 39 for Potiphar’s house and prison, Genesis 40:14 for the plea to remember him). It illustrates how God uses setbacks and “steps” in hardship to prepare for greater purpose and promotion, encouraging believers to persist in prayer for the next divine advancement.
