The song "Oklahoma" by Billy Gilman tells the emotional story of a young boy who discovers his biological father after years of separation. The lyrics depict the boy's feelings as he prepares to leave the only home he has known, as his birth father has been found. He had thought he had found his true home but circumstances forced him to leave. As he waves goodbye, he reflects on the life he had built in the past few months. The boy's mother reveals that they have found a man who looks like him and cried upon learning about the existence of the boy through pictures that were shown to him. This man had led a wandering life in his younger days and had made mistakes, but he promises that if he had known about his son, he would have been there for him. The mother tells the boy that they think they have found his father in Oklahoma. The boy's mind races with questions about his father's identity and what kind of person he will be. His mother reassures him not to be scared and promises to share all the information they have about him. As they reach their destination, the boy becomes nervous, but as they arrive at the fifth house on the left, he sees a man waiting outside. The man wipes away any worries in the boy's eyes, smiles, and takes his hand. The man introduces himself as the boy's father, admitting that he never knew about the boy in the pictures until now. He acknowledges his past mistakes but swears that he would have been there had he known about his son. He assures the boy that he will never be alone again and welcomes him to his new home in Oklahoma. Overall, the song portrays the emotional journey of a young boy reuniting with his father and finding a sense of belonging and love in his new home. It explores themes of family, forgiveness, and the importance of being there for one another.
