Set to ignite an overall positive awareness of better living and bigger thinking with his music, Omega McBride spews these elevating words in one of his compositions, “…and even when my day seems bad/ remembering God made it, I’ma rejoice and be glad/ I’ma fight/ right thru the times I don’t see the light/ despite the night/ It’ll be alright”.
