Obongjayar - I Wish It Was Me (Live)

This moment meant the world to me.
I performed my song I Wish It Was Me taken off my debut album for the first time to my family.
An experience I will never forget and one of those magical moments I don’t even have the words to describe.

Thank you for your blessing, thank you for your love.
I’m grateful for your lives and your health and that I could share this with you.

Lyrics:

You look so pretty on that stage
And you don’t even have to think about it
And if you do it doesn’t show
Everywhere you go
You’re at home I’m in love
And in envy of you

Ouuuu
How they adore you
Ouuuu
How I adore you

And I pray
Pray you never lose your star
I’m so proud
Proud of all that you are

I wish it was me
I wish it was me

You’re so much better at everything
I sink lower in my chair
There’s no compare
I adore you
Ouuuu
I adore you

I came first
But you’re ahead
Ahead beyond your years
People try
Try to learn this thing you’ve always been

I wish it was me
I wish it was me

When you pray
You’re answered
You walk through life just like a dancer If I had my way
Every day will be your parade
When you pray
You’re answered
You walk through life like a dancer
If I had my way
Every day will be your parade

Ouuuu
I adore you
Ouuuu
I adore you

And I pray
Pray you never
Lose your star
I’m so proud
Proud of all that you are

Ouuuu
I wish it was me
I wish it was me

Your mom’s tears gave me goosebumps. Those are the tears of a proud mother 💯🤍

[OathOmerta-ffgq]

My moms in the hospital because her heart keeps stopping. She’s faced a life of trauma. I guess who hasn’t. She’s such an interesting human, I love her dearly. I’ve been helping care for her for several years and have felt tired but now that this is happening I feel so deeply saddened. I want her soul back in her body. I pray she wakes up invigorated and at peace with life. I love my mommy. She’s the best mommy there ever has been. This song makes me think of her. Thankful I have lived to know such an awesome woman ❤

A perfect example of how music has not to be necessarily overcomplicated to be unique and sublime.

I personally think that when a man loves his mother so much, he is closer than many men and women to true love. Beautiful ❤️

Fred Again brought me here. I randomly let Apple Music play. Original is remarkable. I’ll be here the rest of my life. Same feeling I got first time I heard Wanna Be Your Lover 😂
