Morlai Bai Kamara Jr. (born December 2, 1966) is a singer-songwriter and performer based in Brussels, Belgium. Bai was born in Bo Town, Sierra Leone, and spent his childhood years there. Due to both his parents’ involvement in government jobs, he was exposed to the harsh realities of African politics at a young age, and this theme is prevalent in much of his music today.
At the age of 15 Bai moved to England to continue his schooling, living in Bath and Manchester, where he started to write his first songs. In 1990 he moved to Brussels and decided to pursue a career in music rather than continue with his business studies.
Primarily the themes of Bai Kamara’s music revolve around humanitarian themes such as social injustice, political or economic refuge, the environment, and personal relationships. He has worked with Youssou N’Dour and the Refugee Voices, for a UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency) project entitled Building Bridges, and released in 1998. He also currently works with Nader Hamid, an electric guitar player and singer-songwriter originally from Iraq, and they are recording their second album together.
So it seems that I'm wrong 'cuz you said that
I would never want for anything again
But my eyes are set low and I'm holding
To the things I know I can't keep
I keep on chasing the wrong things and coming up empty
This isn't who I'm supposed to be
I keep on learning the hard way from every mistake
And I'm finding each time that you fall, you're just becoming who you are
So it seems that I'm wrong 'cuz I keep on
Searching for the answers that I don't need
I know I don't need
I keep on chasing the wrong things and coming up empty
This isn't who I'm supposed to be
I keep on learning the hard way from every mistake
And I'm finding each time that you fall, you're just becoming who you are
Becoming who you are
You're just becoming, just becoming
You're just becoming, just becoming
I keep on chasing the wrong things and coming up empty
This isn't who I'm supposed to be
I keep on learning the hard way from every mistake
And I'm finding each time that you fall, you're just becoming who you are
I'm finding each time that you fall, I'm finding each time that you fall
