“Don’t ever wanna act, too
High and mighty
‘Cause tomorrow
I can fall on my face
So in everything
Lord, I give You praise
And that puts a smile on my face….”
These are the lyrics of a song written and sung by Jermaine Edward from Jamaica. 8 years ago RushawnEwears beautifully sang this song in school as one of his favorite songs and was recorded on video and posted.
8 years later, the video surfaced and went viral. The video which shows Rushawn standing in a classroom in uniform singing to the lyrics (like it was his), has a message that connects with everyone. The innocence and the vulnerability of an 8-year-old singing,
“Lord, I thank You for sunshine
Thank You for rain
Thank You for joy
Thank You for pain
It’s a beautiful day
(Beautiful day)
It’s a beautiful day…” is what has turned the video into an influential piece of art.
Rushawn is now 16years and an artist in the making, thanks to Jermaine Edward.
After a few exploitations of the video on the internet , Jermaine was able to ensure that the school, Rushawn, and the school teacher are well taken care of. He’s being such a blessing to the kid and his mother, adopting the school and building a new playground in Rushawn’s name.
The use of the internet in recent times is incredible, Rushawn has been co-signed to a record deal by Sonymusicuk, and he’s got a big brother called Jermaine Edward who is keen on making sure the boy succeeds in his artistry.
All these and many other benefits are happening now for Rushawn because his video went viral and now he’s a star in the making.
With the help of Jermaine, he now has an Instagram account with over 100k followers. In his recent post of the video, he wrote in the caption, “Sometimes I wonder if I’m dreaming. I want to thank God for blessing my life by singing my favorite song from @jermaineedwardsreal. Thank you for writing it #itsabeautifulday, years later it changed my life.”
