Hive Open Mic 121 / For You I Will Cover

Hey, Hive Music lovers!

This week's theme at @hiveopenmic is "Amor de Familia," which translates as "Family Love" in English. It was picked by our most recent Spotlight Artist, @osmely, and it is a very beautiful theme.

Because it signifies something different to everyone, the term "family" is one of the most vaguely defined words. A family to me is anyone on whom I can rely for support, to laugh and play with, and to share life's struggles and triumphs with. I consider family to be those who genuinely care about you and want to see you succeed. People who have open hearts and are eager to embrace you for who you are. Even when things go wrong and a crisis arises, you can always rely on your family. Family helps you rediscover your principles and make sound judgments. Furthermore, Family isn't always about being biologically related, because we recognize that other factors and circumstances connect us. Family is unwavering, safe, and dependable. Most importantly, Family isn't only important; for me, it's everything.

This week, I've chosen Monica's song "For you, I will." It is a song that was released as part of the soundtrack to the 1996 film "Space Jam" on February 25, 1997. When I gave birth to my son 22 years ago, I was completely in love with him, and this song touches me differently every time. The words are simple and straightforward, and I have dedicated every word to him since then and even today, as he has grown into a great and gorgeous young man.

Lyrics

When you're feeling lost in the night
When you feel your world just ain't right
Call on me, I will be waiting
Count on me, I will be there
Anytime the times get too tough
Anytime your best ain't enough
I'll be the one to make it better
I'll be there to protect you, see you through
I'll be there, and there is nothing, I won't do
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength, anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time, promise you
For you I will, yes yeah, yeah
I will shield your heart from the rain
I won't let no harm come your way
Oh, these arms will be your shelter
No, these arms won't let you down
If there is a mountain to move
I will move that mountain for you
I'm here for you, I'm here forever
I will be your fortress tall and strong
I'll keep you safe, I'll stand beside you right or wrong
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength, anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time, promise you
For you I will, yes yeah, yeah
For you I will lay my life on the line, for you I will fight, oh
For you I will die, with every breath, with all my soul
I'll give my word, I'll give it all
Put your faith in me, put your faith in me
And I'll do anything oh
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength, anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time, promise you
For you I will, yes yeah, yeah
I will, I will, I will
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength, anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time, promise you
For you I will, yes yeah, yeah
Promise you, for you I will
I promise you, for you I will

Apologies for not hitting the high notes as I just can't.
But that won't stop me from singing it. 😆😅
