It's about God. "Ya Hey" is a play on "Yahweh," the name sometime attributed to the one true Lord. Not supposed to be spoken, either, so I suppose the approximation is a play on that too. When Moses asked God His name in the bible, he only replied "I am that I am."
Interesting flip to the script of the old question "If God really loves us, why do terrible things happen?" Ezra seems to be asking "How can God love such terrible things?"
This song annoys me a little cos its an incomplete bible verse, heres the context
Ex3 :13Nevertheless, Moses said to the [true] God: “Suppose I am now come to the sons of Israel and I do say to them, ‘The God of ​YOUR​ forefathers has sent me to ​YOU,’ and they do say to me, ‘What is his name?’ What shall I say to them?”14At this God said to Moses: “I ​SHALL PROVE TO BE WHAT​ I ​SHALL PROVE TO BE.” And he added: “This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘I ​SHALL PROVE TO BE​...

“This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘Jehovah the God of ​YOUR​ forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to ​YOU.’ This is my name to time indefinite, and this is the memorial of me to generation after generation
So not only does it shows Gods name but also the meaning of his name. And why shouldn't we use his name? we use the devils name but not almighty Gods?
