▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello beautiful people of hive. It is nice to start my journey here in this community. This is my first time joining the Hive weekly concert. Since I am new here I read a lot of post and watch some singers and artist who joined here. And since I love singing (even if the song don't love me, sometimes🤣), I want to share to you the talent that God has given to me.

By the way, I join this community because my friend ate @zbabe she was the one who introduced me this platform and decided that I should join in this community because she knows I love singing. And here I am trying my best. Hoping that you will like the song I will sing. So, I want to share to you the song that relates the theme.

For this Hive Open Mic week #123 the is theme is all about "A Better World for All". After reflecting on the theme, I have thought a lot of songs that can fit perfectly to the theme. In the end, I chose "One day" by Matisyahu. I kinda like this song because I love reggae songs when I was in my high school days. It is empowering, beautiful, candid and filled with purpose. It reminded me on my good old days as a high school girl living a carefree world.

I chose this song because it is reminding me that old self that I use to lived got some baggy pants and shirts. Living the life with no stress. It also reminds me of the world with less harm and no chaos.

And I also chose this song because it is a heartfelt song about the beauty of the world. “One Day” is an anthem promoting world peace and unity. In this song, it talks about how the world is a beautiful places and a hope to explore it one day without chaos. These song is a reminder that there is much beauty in the world that we often take it for granted. It's a song that inspires us to appreciate the world around us and to make the most of it everyday with peace and love.

So, I dedicate this song to all the people living around the world. That they may find peace in their selves and the people around them. And I want to thank this community for reminding not just me but all the people here that living in a better world is a profound level.

Full Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooo-ahoo, ah-yah-ahha
Am-aba-ah-ah-oh-oh
(One day, one day, one day)
Am-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I lay under the moon and thank God I'm breathing
Then I pray, "Don't take me soon, 'cause I am here for a reason"

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around, because...

[Chorus]
All my life I've been waiting for, I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more, there'll be no more wars
And our children will play
One day (One day), one day (One day), one day (Oh-oh-ohh)
One day (One day), one day (One day), one day (Oh-oh-ohh)

[Verse 2]
It's not about win or lose, 'cause we all lose when they feed
On the souls of the innocent, blood-drenched pavement
Keep on moving though the waters stay raging
In this maze, you can lose your way (Your way)
It might drive you crazy, but don't let it phase you, no way (No way)

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes in my tears I drown (I drown)
But I never let it get me down (Get me dow-own)
So when negativity surrounds (Surrounds)
I know some day it'll all turn around, because...

[Chorus]
All my life I've been waiting for (Waiting for)
I've been praying for (Praying for)
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more (Fight no more)
They'll be no more war (No more war)
And our children will play
One day (One day), one day (One day), one day (Oh-oh-ohh, one day)
One day (One day), one day (One day), one day (Oh-oh-ohh)

[Bridge]
One day this all will change, treat people the same
Stop with the violence, down with the hate
One day we'll all be free, and proud to be
Under the same sun, singing songs of freedom like:
Why-ohhh , why-ohh-ohh-ohh
(One day, one day, oh-oh-oh)
Why-ohhh, why-ohh-ohh-ohh
(One day, one day, oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say (Ay-yay-yay-yay-yay-oh)
That we don't wanna fight no more (Ay-yay-yay-yay-yay-oh)
They'll be no more war
And our children will play
(Why-ohhh , why-ohh-ohh-ohh)
One day (One day), one day (One day), one day (Oh-oh-ohh)
(Why-ohhh , why-ohh-ohh-ohh)
One day (One day), one day (One day), one day (Oh-oh-ohh)

[Outro]
Ooo-ahoo, ah-yah-ahha
Am-aba-ah-ah-oh-oh
(One day, one day, one day)
Am-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh
