Hive Open Mic 174 : "Beacon of light" Andika - Cahaya cover by @donirosayandi

Hi Hivers, how are you all? I'm sure we're all fine. My name is @donirosayandi, I'm a guitarist. On this occasion I will sing for Hive Open Mic 174, we will explore the following theme: "Beacon of Light." This theme is chosen by our community's recent Spotlight Artist: @gloriaolar.

As distributed this week, I was immediately reminded of this song of light, which expresses the meaning of how important an encouragement is in life.
The light in this song tells about the encouragement of a father who struggles to earn income for his biological child who has been abandoned by his mother due to economic problems. As a result, the father plays a dual role for his child, he acts as a father as well as a mother for his child.
And he also advised his son to be a child who is always strong in life, to be a cheerful child even though the world is not as beautiful as reality.

*Light keep your feet on the earth
Be a star that always shines
Stay cheerful even though the world is not as beautiful as reality

It is undeniable that as a human being, we must have experienced trials in every life. Likewise, the lyrics of this song tell about love that blinds the eyes of a mother who is willing to leave her child for someone who is richer.
The mother is willing to stick wounds to her child for the sake of a more decent life. Her hurt heart was treated by her father's advice who encouraged her to always be a shining star in her life, as well as in her father's life.

*Love does blind the eyes
My heart is always wrong
He who I thought was perfect turned out to be a liar

Now he goes to stick the wound
My heart hurts too much to accept it
Listen, O light

There is an important message from this song, namely don't give up easily in circumstances, in a life that is full of trials and keep the enthusiasm to live it and keep doing your best to pursue the light of our lives.

In my opinion, this song is very relatable to be sung this week, this is what made me choose this song, because this song, in my opinion, fits the theme of the 174th week of Hive Open Mic Happy listening.
Here are the full song lyrics.

Cahaya dengarkanlah diriku bernyanyi
Tentang rintihan hatiku ini
Yang selalu terluka
Dan menderita karena cinta yang buta

Cahaya tegarkan lah kakimu di bumi
Jadilah bintang yang selalu menyinari
Tetaplah ceria meski dunia tak seindah kenyataannya.

Cinta memang membutakan mata
Hatiku yang selalu salah menilainya
Dia yang ku anggap sempurna ternyata berdusta

Kini dia pergi tancapkan luka
Hati terlalu sakit menerimanya
Dengarlah wahai cahaya
