Check out this captivating performance from Dolly Parton and Blessing Offor in the ‘Somebody’s Child’ official video.
At the start of this video, we see a suave Blessing seated at a grand piano in the spotlight with a white jacket on. He sings so wonderfully and paints a picture as he carries verse 1. As he goes into the chorus, he sings:
‘We’re all somebody’s baby, we’re all somebody’s child
We’re all some kinda crazy, we’re all some kinda wild.’
Captivating Performance From Dolly Parton and Blessing Offor
Suddenly, we see a child laughing in the arms of his dad while fishing. A picture of security and happiness is seen. The lyrics are emotional and deep in pondering that everyone is somebody’s child. Dolly Parton then steps in wearing black and standing next to Blessing at the piano.
As they sing, a chorus joins in with Blessing and lights up in the background. It is very intriguing. Next, the video shows an older man in a wheelchair. We see a young man being handcuffed and put into a police car as his mother gently rubs his head. There is then a dad and daughter blowing bubbles. We see a young couple with an infant reading a book. We see an injured child who had fallen off of a scooter receiving a hug. At the end of the song, Dolly and Blessing sing, ‘Somebody’s child’ in unison.
This song reminds us that we are all humans. It puts into perspective that no matter what age we are or our what our circumstances may be, we are all someone’s baby. We all have value in being made in the image of God. We can see people as people.
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
