Story Behind the Song
This song was inspired by my father and addresses my aspirations to attain the same level of spirituality with which he leads his life and pass then onto my son as well. The song was written in my home studio and was recorded as part of the album AMBITIONS FOR DEEPER BREADTH.
Lyrics
LIKE HIM
Ola Onabule © 2001
When I look at him in the autumn of his years
I see a man whose self assurance can incline
The words from him to float subtle as a breeze
Yet so effortlessly ease my troubled mind
His life philosophy, to him seems so elementary
To square up to all doubt, within not from without
Be brave enough
If I like him, can learn to temper all with grace
and walk life at a measured pace
Maybe I’ll be
Deeper than thought of inconsequentials
Clearer than simple truths, Broader than one mind
Certain beyond proof circumstantial
Willing to be myself
Beyond doubting shadows oh oh
Now watch with me as I raise my infant son
to be the man I must become If I’m like him
