Valamir (c. 420 – c. 465) was an Ostrogothic king in the ancient country of Pannonia from AD 447 until his death. During his reign, he fought alongside the Huns against the Roman Empire and then, after Attila the Hun's death, fought against the Huns to consolidate his independent control over a large group of Goths.
Valamir was the son of Vandalarius and cousin to king Thorismund. An important and trusted vassal of Attila the Hun, Valamir participated in Attila's raids of the provinces of the Danube (447), and commanded an Ostrogothic contingent of Attila's force at the Battle of Chalons. After Attila's death (453), Valamir by force and diplomacy became the leader of the large grouping of Goths who were settled by Marcian in Pannonia. In the subsequent fight for independence from the Huns from 456 to 457, he defeated the sons of Attila.
In 459 Valamir's Ostrogoths did not receive their accustomed annual tribute from the Romans and felt that Theoderic Strabo was getting more honour than they were. Valamir and his brothers therefore attacked Illyricum from 459 to 462, when the emperor Leo I agreed to pay the Goths 300 pounds of gold yearly. During a Scirian raid, Valamir was thrown from his horse and killed.
Sometimes I wonder
If I'll ever find her
The one that God's chosen for me
And what if I find her,
But she doesn't like me,
I guess that disproves destiny
But I should know better,
The sea is much wetter
With plenty of fishes to see
(For you and me)
And I know my Father
Has scoped out the water
And picked out a fishy for me
Jesus has a girl for me
she's everything I want her to be (Yeah!)
Jesus has a girl for me
I know he does just wait and see
Jesus has a girl for me
She's everything I want her to be
Jesus has a girl for me
And I'll love her, and she'll love me
Once in a while
I'm tempted to hook up
With any old Suzy or Jane
Who cares what she is like,
As long as she's pretty,
I don't even hafta know her name
But I should know better the sea is much wetter
With plenty of fishes to see
And I know my father
Has scoped out the water
And picked out a fishy for me
Jesus has a girl for me
I know he does because he told me
In his word, the Bible
The desires of my heart he'd give me
Every good and perfect gift,
We know is from above
But there is one gift that I haven't got
And that's the gift of love,
Now I know Jesus loves me
And I am so in love with Him
But that's a different kind of love, love, love,
That I've been thinking of
I want a girl with big, brown eyes
And smile so sweet,
Where is the girl who loves Jesus as much as me?
I want a girl, I want a girl,
With big brown eyes and smile so sweet
I want a girl, I want a girl,
