Mother Billie Showed Ocean Eyes
When I see an artist cry
for not winning a Grammy,
I wonder—being a nominee would be a dream.
Oh, to even appear on television,
millions rooting, fans screaming—
is that less than winning a Grammy?
It's painful not to get what you deserve.
Losing is hard, all that pain we've heard.
But wasn't the journey mesmerizing?
To release songs, a massive crowd getting that feeling.
To be able to leave your mark,
getting recognized worldwide,
your spot had a thousand eyes.
But still, claiming that seat,
is that less than winning a Grammy?
How can one possibly feel less worthy
when being a nominee made you win?
You have true people still loving you.
Is that feeling less than winning a Grammy?
Oh dear, it's a pleasure for them to invite you.
The room was filled with ethereal beauty.
Your presence brought our televisions to life.
"I didn't win."
Rubbish!
In our eyes, you did.
When your birth was an honor for this world,
how important is it to win a Grammy?
