I was that kid!!! Foster home to foster home until I was 4 1/2 and then My siblings and i were sent to live with a family that soon would adopt us. I was 6 years old when I got adopted and 22 years later it still feels like just yesterday. This song makes me cry every time I listen to it. Such a beautiful song
This song means everthing to me. Because I experienced something similar. I grew up with my stepfather and my mum. I never knew that my stepfather isn't my real father. So when I was ten years old I get told it. I was like "No thats a dream" and since this day I dreamed every night about my real dad, I imagined how he could look like. Or what he like. And than I saw him on a picture and I started to cry, because I saw me in him. You know what I mean? But my Mom, didn't know much about him. So I never saw him in real life. Every night I dreamed about our first met, how it could be. Or what he would say. Now I'm 15 years old and I never meet him. Everytime I hear this song. It remind me about my story and my father. If you read this daddy, I love you! ❤ Thank you for this beautiful song, billy. sorry for my english. I'm from germany. ✌
I know what it's like to wonder about the people who created you. But also keep in mind that a step-father is not any less of a father. I do hope you get to meet your birth father, and I hope you and your step-father keep a good relationship too.
I never met my dad either I was looking on line for people with the last name that my mother told me that my fathers name was I was writing letters when I heard this song still don’t know who my dad is sent out a lot of letters never got one back I will be 50 and think of the family I don’t know but I meet billy 4 times and got to talk to him and his manager that is my favorite song from him and hope he gets around ILLINOIS would like to see him for my 50th birthday all the best to you billy even though I will never know my dad at least I now some do thanks for your music hope you continue take care
Katelyn Adams I'm 46 he changed my life ... I moved to TN knowing Billy made it. I moved cause Sony liked my lyrics.. it was a great journey I love I did! Sony wanted my songs but said i singing it .. I was too trained for country. I still take those months as great learning as I passed on them taking my words away. Sorry for rant but seems Sony does this a lot trying to get songs at cheap cost
I'm so glad to see Billy still going strong 20 years after One Voice, he's absolutely in the top 10 of remarkable musical talents of our (my) generation. He's destined for greatness!
This is so real. Life can be so hard .I am so glad you are such a inspiration. ❤❤❤ Its so sad . I am so thankful for the love that is in your heart . Never again. So good.
This is the first time I heard the grown up Billy sing this song and now I can love both young and older versions! This song always hits me right in the feels!
sometimes I don't like my dad's behavior when he treats my mother but after I listened to this song I realized that there are still many people out there who have lost or never even knew who his father was. I am very grateful to still have a father and mother with all the conditions that exist. I love my parents. For me no human is perfect. I am a parent and what my parents have done is a reflection of my life how I have to take care of my family. thank you for sharing
When I was a kid, I didn't even understood the words, but the song made me feel so sad but I love it so much. Now, going back to it, it makes your cry when you listen to the words and actually understand what the song was about. Really awesome song!
When Oklahoma came out, I was an 11 year old little girl in Foster care. This song was a dream for so many of the children in custody. Billy Gilman became kind of our voice. I'd do anything to meet him.
As an adult your voice is stull amazing and you srill have something about you that just draws me and im sure others into your world. Thank you for such positive, powerful messages😍
I remember years ago when you was young I bought your first CD when I heard that song Oklahoma I cried and cried I bought that seem to cause of that I fall in love with it you always be my number one fan always my favorite
Your Still Great Through All Your Songs, That "Oklahoma" Song made me inspire to sing what any song that i can do,i mean you are my Inspiration,it's been Grateful To Hear a Certained Voice of a Magnificent SuperStar like you Billy! Thank You my idol,You Sang indeed Well in Every Ways!😊😘👌👍♥We Always love You Here in the 🇵🇭 Philippines!👍💗💗💗
This song always makes me cry, even more so after seeing Billy's comments before he sang. There are so many, many children who have no one and they're bounced around in the foster system. Thank you for posting this video.
this song is very nice and touching. i recall to listen to Billy's songs few years ago when he was famaous as a kid singer and this is one of my favorite. I almost know all his songs and the one when he sang together with Charlotte church was the good one too. I still love his songs and still play his songs even until now. there was a time i didn't hear about Billy again after his video coming out (I resepct your decision Billy, and you have my full support for it). Billy Gilman if you read this, you always have your fan here in another part of the world eventhough you never realize it. I understand the ups and downs you have faced, but yours songs have given so much meaning into my life. we all are grown up men now but you and your songs have special place in my heart. trust me. love... RS
Still beautiful and so touching, his rendition. Yes, puberty sadly changed the tone of his voice but every boy experienced it.The remarkable achievement he did to rise from the adversity and had the nerve to go back to his first love which is singing is something that he deserves to be recognized. Your personality shines through, Billy!😍😍
I was his age when I first heard his album... As soon as I heard this song, I never knew it would hit home... Still, through all these years....I was 12... Billy Gilman is, hands down... AMAZING! I love this.....
Im on my 30s now and whenever i hear this song ill be like transported nack to my younger days, bawling like im hearing the song for the first time, specially the mv of oklahoma, damn, that is a serious trick to make a person cry.
Billy is so talented! He's able to touch me through his songs. I don't even know why. Every time I listen to this song makes me cry and I'm not ashamed to say it, 'cause not much singers have that thing that makes us live the song. :'( WOW!
Oh my goodness thank you for sharing this, Billy is sounding AMAZING! again, for a good few years after his voice changed and he had a lower range but it sounds like he has got that stunning spine tingling pitch back like he had before, this song has such a powerful message and you can clearly see how special it is to Billy by the way he sings it, so moving, so much emotion and so beautiful and he looks absolutely STUNNING! so handsome and so beautiful in both heart & soul, he looks happy and content and glad to be back on top form again. I have to be honest i am totally in love with this dude, i mean he has everything, a beautiiful face, a beautiful soul, a beautiful nature and that dreamy voice. I wish him all the happiness and joy in the world and may god bless him 😍😍😍😍😍
I burn this song and one voice on a cd back when he was eleven , my mom to whom has past love this song so thank you Billy you made an old lady smile before passing .
if what u said is true, then the story's ending isnt a happy ending like I always thot. it made me even more sad thinking his parents disowned him. I hope it isnt true.
i was in a faster home am 42 both of my foster parents our gone now i met my birth mom when i was 18 and we have the best relaship i didnt get to meet my birth father has he past away of cancer i have cousins
I don't know how can he sing this song without breaking to tears. Coz whenever I tried to sing this song I always ended up crying specially at the bridge part resulting to not finishing it.
This song makes me cry every time. But can anyone answer a weird question? Did Billy Gilman die. for anyone else. Love to see him but weird question? Yes, happy he is here but wtf. Billy we love you.
@@lanacastillo49 What's wrong with you? How am I a hater if I'm eager to hear him sing the song? You're the hater. Stfu, you say- that's hater language. And you're very quick to call names. You're the first foul-mouthed nasty comment for the whole video. Shame on you.
@@daviddavid9837 you are an insecure hater who have no experience on being a singer and pleasing an audience. Zero. No wonder you lead a miserable life. You are a black hole to everyone around you and it's not a wonder why.
@@lanacastillo49 Yup. The hate runs pretty strong in you. Picking a fight with a stranger. And you've got quite the active imagination, too. Are you drunk or are you high?
@@daviddavid9837 you're the only one hating. Your demeanor alone is vile and repulsive. No wonder people dont like you and they stay away as much as they could. You need self-awareness and some reflection. The energy you put out in the world is dark and doesn't give anything good to the world. Especially not to a wonderful guy like Billy. You should learn from him coz it seems your parents didnt raise you right.
I burn this song and one voice on a cd back when he was eleven , my mom to whom has past love this song so thank you Billy you made an old lady smile before passing .

once upon a time i was an 11 yr old girl in love with a 13 yr old boy named billy gilman. Im now 28 and he's 30. Still crushing on him ever since.
so cuteee ♥
Same here but I was 17 and he was 13
Katelyn Adams I'm 46 he changed my life ... I moved to TN knowing Billy made it. I moved cause Sony liked my lyrics..
it was a great journey I love I did!

Sorry for rant but seems Sony does this a lot trying to get songs at cheap cost
Me too!
He's so gay, but since it's all fantasy, feel free to crush on this wonderful singer!
That's my favorite song of Billy Gilman list when he was a boy. So amazing!!!

i love when singers do their childhood song in their new grown voice! love the song !
sometimes I don't like my dad's behavior when he treats my mother but after I listened to this song I realized that there are still many people out there who have lost or never even knew who his father was.

All I knew was that a kid about my age never met his dad. That meeting was enough to bring all my feels to the surface. I agree with you, Bogdan!

You don't cry because this is sad. It is amazingly happy and joyful. And joy comes from God. So it's the grace of God's joy that makes you cry.
In tears before he even started to sing this song!!
As an adult your voice is stull amazing and you srill have something about you that just draws me and im sure others into your world. Thank you for such positive, powerful messages😍

This is my all time favorite song of his. As the parent of two adopted kids we fostered, it touches well close to home. It's just a gorgeous song.
Love his voice as a child singer

Billy Gilman should have won 2016 season the voice. For me the best in all seasons
Zayda Katigbak for me it was Grimmie's season.
Billy had been a "professional" for many years. This likely went against him winning!
Totally agree. I liked the other guy as well but Billy should have won it. America got it wrong that season.

He still good but is more of a theatrical voice
The only reason he lost on the voice was because of the fact that he had a career already witch is a bs reason !
A little too indulgent. The younger version felt truthful and real and soulful.
i love Billy the boy more than this version...
Talk less. Sing more.
Stfu hater!
