HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 114 || MORE THAN WORDS || BETTER BY JESSICA REEDY ( COVER) || BY @kierydearie

Hello music lovers,

This is yet another week to sing on Hive Open mic. An amazing theme has been chosen " more than words" to enable us express ourselves in the best way possible.
For me, the first thing that resonated with this theme was "Faith and Hope" and this song by Jessica reedy really does it for me.

Sometimes amidst the issues of life that may befall us, we get so defeated in our spirit and our heart and tears carry a message that our lips fail to express. Burdened and beaten down, our eyes are drowned in tears that expresses the emotions which are just to much for only words to express.

However, we can get lost for words but we should never loose faith and the hope of things getting brighter and beautiful. We will always get better as long as we get up, dust off, and keep walking. In the end, our joy will be unquantifiable..

I really hope this song blesses you...
I love you all.
The support has been massive and I appreciate each and every one of you.
PS: All pictures are mine.

LYRIC
Better by Jessica reedy
I used to be
So broken, lost, empty
A heart with no beat
A singer with no song to sing
So I know the feeling
The silence is deafening
But in your pain lies a blessing
A sweeter song of victory

So keep walking n' walking n' walking
Though it seems so far
No matter who you are
See, there's one thing that I know

Life, it can leave
You so bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
But you must believe
That it gets better, better, better, better

It's alright
Dry your eyes
Send a prayer to the sky
I know it's hard to fight

But you must believe
That it gets better

Listen to me
I know you're scared
Your heart's bleeding
But what are you gonna do now?
I think it's time you break free

And keep walking n' walking n' walking
Though it seems so far
No, it doesn't really matter who you are
See, there's one thing that I know

Life, it can leave
You so bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
But you must believe
That it gets better, better, better, better

It's alright
Dry your eyes
Send a prayer to the sky
I know it's hard to fight

But you must believe
That it gets better, better

Almost out of here
See, I was almost done
I wanted to die
From how I was doing wrong

I cried out every night
Looking for a helping hand
That's when it happened
Jesus took me in

He held me close
Gave me love
Refilled my heart
Helped me grow

Better because
His love, it made me whole
He's available anytime
Try Him out
He'll change your life
See, 'cause I know

Life, it can leave
You so bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
Please, you must believe
That it gets better, better, better, better

Life, it can leave
You so bitter bitter, bitter, bitter
But you must believe
That it gets better, better

It gets better (better), better (better)
So much better (better)
It gets better (better)
If you only believe (better)
So much better, yeah
