BABA

Baba is the Man
In the orange robe
He lives in Puttaparthi
On the other side of the globe

I learned about Baba
When I was three or four
And I came to the Sai center
I fell asleep, but I didn't snore.

When I saw Baba
For the first time
I had lots of fun singing
But my mom started crying

Now I go to Sai center
Almost every week
But now during Bhajans
I don't fall asleep
