Hive Open Mic Week #170 - "People Help the People " (Cover by @biyimi)

over 1 year ago

A great day to be participating in hive open mic contest week 170 and it is always a great privilege whenever one have the opportunity to do so.

Music has a way of communicating to us the deep things that we might not even feel. There are times I am really down and all I just need to lift my soul is a song. It helps heal the wound.

As This week's Hive Open Mic theme is: “Cacao.” I have come up with a cover of a song I so much love. The title is "people help the people by Birdy"

This song has always been there for me when I am lonely and down due to hard times or probably I am hurt deep within me. I always listen to this song and it has a way of healing me up.

Apart from that, this song helps to point out the essence of humanity as we helping the people. Reaching out to lost people. We should not neglect people who need our help whether they are near us or far from us.

Lyrics

God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
Guess he kissed the girls and made them cry
Those hard-faced queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
Fiery throngs of muted angels
Giving love but getting nothing back, oh
People help the people
And if you're homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain, oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away
God knows what is hiding in this world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
Guess the loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone or sinking
People help the people
And if you're homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain, oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, ooh
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, ooh
People help the people
And if you're homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain, oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away
