Hey everyone, I am @theofficialmide and it’s a privilege to be here l again. This is my entry for Hive open mic Week 212 and the theme for this week is

Power

Music has always been a transformative force in my life. It’s a universal language that speaks to the soul, transcends barriers, and brings people together. Today, I want to share with you a piece of my heart, a performance that is more than just a cover; it’s a story of empowerment, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit.

I chose Katy Perry’s “Roar” for this performance because it’s a song that has always resonated with me on a personal level. The lyrics speak of breaking free from the chains of silence, of finding one’s voice and using it to declare one’s presence in the world. It’s about standing up after a fall, dusting oneself off, and facing the challenges head-on with a fierce determination.
The journey to this performance was not an easy one. It took countless hours of practice, moments of self-doubt, and the courage to step out of my comfort zone. But every step was worth it because, with each note I sang, I felt a stronger connection to the message of the song.

As I stood before the microphone, the opening chords of “Roar” began to play, and I closed my eyes for a brief moment. I took a deep breath and let the music flow through me. When I opened my eyes, I wasn’t just singing a song; I was telling my story.
The energy of the song coursed through my veins as I hit the high notes with confidence and embraced the low notes with grace. I felt every word I sang, and with each verse, I could sense the walls I had built around myself crumbling down.

This performance is a testament to the power of music and its ability to inspire change. It’s a reminder that we all have a voice that deserves to be heard, a roar that echoes our deepest desires and our wildest dreams.
Through this video, I invite you to join me on this journey. Let’s celebrate the strength we have within us, the battles we’ve fought, and the victories we’ve achieved. Let’s remind ourselves that no matter how tough life gets, we have the power to “Roar” and make ourselves heard.

So, without further ado, here is my rendition of Katy Perry’s “Roar.” I hope it moves you, inspires you, and reminds you of the warrior you are. Turn up the volume, press play, and let’s roar into the future together

SONG LYRICS

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floatin' like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (you'll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (yeah)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (you'll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
