Greetings to my fellow hivers, we are back again on the hive open mic community with another theme for this week titled "Gospel". I remain my humble self @coderaikiri and for my entry to this incredible opportunity I'll be presenting an acapella to the song Crazy World by Lucky Dube so stay tuned for a doozy ride. To a lot of people this song doesn't match the description of the theme but if you look deeper than the surface, you'll realize that the song is nothing short of the Gospel of the earth. Crazy world is my dad's favorite and listening to it regularly made me a fan of it as well. The song talks about the triviality of life, how leaders go to war for different reasons but in the end only the masses suffer. The world is truly crazy because people live full today just to die empty tomorrow . https://youtu.be/Dx0D4Dn0sNk?si=JYCSyRyAdvX5hOD9 Even the youngsters are not spared from this cruelty because in the song there's a little boy who prays to God for the protection of his soul even if he doesn't see tomorrow. The song is truly an eye opener about life and that is why I believe it can be used as a gospel. I hope y'all listen and enjoy thank you. LYRICS So far so good we still living today But we don't know what tomorrow brings In this crazy world People dying like flies every day You read about it in the news But you don't believe it You'll only know about it When the man in the long black coat Knocks on your door 'Cause you're his next victim As you are living in this
[Chorus:] Living in, living in this crazy world [x4]
Leaders starting wars anytime they want Some for their rights Some for fun and their own glory letting people die for the wrongs that they do Oh it's painful. Come on now little boy Say your prayers before you sleep Little boy went down on his knees And he said: "Oh Lord! Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep And if I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take"
'Cause he's living in this crazy world Oh Lord
[Chorus: till fade] Lyrics source
