HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 150 / Ordinary People (Cover)

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Good day to everyone on this beautiful platform. It has been a wonderful ride from my very first day till this moment and I want to use this medium to appreciate everyone that has been involved with me whether to encourage, to correct, to chastise and to welcome me. I appreciate you all and I do not take this love for granted.

This is another week of participation which is week 150. My entry for this week is a song titled Ordinary People by Cobhams Asuquo. This Nigerian song writer, composer, producer, pianist and singer is a very talented man despite his Physical challenge, his sight disability has not stopped him from thriving in the musical/entertainment industry. But instead, has made him a renowned and strong teacher when it has anything to do with music.

The track titled Ordinary People was released alongside the album "For you" in the year 2017. This soulful artist is one who composes song lyrics that fills up the soul in one way or the other. This song lyrics talks about how we as a people can live life without creating chaos for ourselves. Live is beautiful, so we are expected to live life without seeing that we're bigger than others.

I also want us to know that we are all ordinary people with ordinary desires, expectations, demands and strength but we are all capable of doing extra-ordinary things that is if we let ourselves to soar and also live an ordinary life that will not cost other people their happiness or source of livelihood. That is to say, if we put our mind to doing something beyond the ordinary, things will become better than it is and life will be more sweeter and sweeter.

I hope you enjoy my participation for this week. Have a nice day ahead 😊.

LYRICS

A child in the distance
Playing in the rain
The sweet sound of water
Flowing away
Construction worker
Coming home from work
The parents and their children
Going to church
Happy little baby drools on your shirt
One extraordinary day
Let us have a world of ordinary people
Living life the way God wants us to
And if we have a world of ordinary people
Extraordinary things
Will happen through me and you
Me and you
Ordinary Abraham
He was just a man
But he’ld kill His son
For the price of a lamb
And let us consider
Ordinary Job
Who lost it all
But in God had his hope
Ordinary David
The little shepherd boy
Brought down Goliath
With a stone and a toy
Sweet little Jesus
Ordinary child
The carpenter’s first son
Humble and mild
If anybody told you
He would be Messiah
You probably would laugh it off
I kno-o-ow
So
Let us have a world of ordinary people
Living life the way God wants us to
And if we have a world of ordinary people
Extraordinary things
Will happen through me and you
Vamp
Every little baby
Has the power to be great
And every tall tree grew up from some mustard seed
No ordinary children
Going off the war
Cos no single leader is worth dieing for
No ordinary mother
Will cry herself to sleep
Cos no ordinary father
Will come home after three
So
Let us have a world of ordinary people
Living life the way God wants us to
And if we have a world of ordinary people
Extraordinary things
O-o-o-o-o-oh
Let us have a world of ordinary people
Living life the way God wants us to
And if we have a world of ordinary people
Extraordinary things
Will happen through me
Let us have a world of ordinary people
Living life the way God wants us to
If we have a world of ordinary people
Extraordinary things
Will happen through me and you
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
(If we have a world)
La la la la la la la la la la
Extraordinary things
Will happen through me
Extraordinary things
Will happen through me
Extraordinary things
Will happen through me and you
