In this world of “Grateful” by Asa, everything slows down. There is no rush, no noise, no performance, just a woman acknowledging the journey of her own heart.
The lyrics feel like pages from a private journal, moments she once feared, people she once loved, lessons she didn’t understand in the moment. Asa doesn’t pretend the road was smooth; instead, she finds beauty in the bruises, meaning in the losses, and softness in the memories that shaped her.
She is grateful not because life was easy, but because she has grown wiser, steadier, and more human through its difficulties.

Era ile, era ile
Won yin baba l'oke
Yanrin okun, yanrin okun
Won n yin baba l'oke
Eranko ile, eranko igbo Won n yin baba l'oke
Awon alaini, awon tan ti ni
Won yin baba l'oke
[Chorus:]
Ko se igbati nkan ba se yan
Ko to mo pe baba n be l'oke
Ko se igbati nkan ba se yan
Ko to mo pe looto o n be l'oke
You don't have to wait till you feel the pain
You can start right now
It's not too late
It's not too late, to be grateful
Era ile, era ile,
Won yin baba l'oke
Yanrin okun, yanrin okun
Won yin baba l'oke
Pe mo wa laye, mo wa laye
Gbogbo n ti mo ni, ma fin yi o l'ogo
Believe this world a better place
[Chorus]
Wo mi, bi mo se n f'ope ye baba
Da di da dada
Da di da dudu
Da di da dada
Da di da dudu
It's not too laaate
