    GOOD DAY FELLOW HIVERS,

    This is @emmaba1. It is Hive Open Mic week 106 and the theme of the week is "bicycle". When I saw the theme earlier in the week , I thought I would write an original song. However, the next day, my playlist shuffled on to this particular song by John Mayer and I told myself that it kinda fitted into the theme, and this was how I rationalized it and came to that conclusion.

    In the song, John talks about knowing a girl who means the world to him, however, she is just like a maze, unstable, and changing. He thought he was responsible for it at first, but later realized that maybe it has nothing to do with him. In the second verse, we see that the girls father left the family when she was little. The lack of a father figure being what likely damaged her to that extent, John goes on to say in the Chorus that fathers should be good to their daughters and stick with them. And because these daughters end up growing, become lovers, and then mothers, mothers should also be good to their daughters.

    The correlation to the theme bicycle is the fact that I thought of the circular wheels of the bicycle. This particular string of events is one that has plagued this society of ours for a while now. It is commoner in some parts of the world than others. Parents walking out on their children without considering the potential long-term emotional harm it could do to the psyche of these children. This is a vicious cycle. One that needs to be broken as soon as possible.

    Here are the song lyrics.
    I know a girl
    She puts the color inside of my world
    She's just like a maze
    Where all of the walls all continually change
    And I've done all I can
    To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
    Now I'm starting to see
    Maybe it's got nothing to do with me
    Fathers be good to your daughters
    Daughters will love like you do
    Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
    So mothers be good to your daughters too...
    Oh, you see that skin?
    It's the same she's been standing in
    Since the day she saw him walking away
    Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made
    So fathers be good to your daughters
    Daughters will love like you do
    Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
    So mothers be good to your daughters too
    Boys, you can break
    You'll find out how much they can take
    Boys will be strong and boys soldier on
    But boys would be gone without warmth from a woman's good, good heart...
    On behalf of every man
    Looking out for every girl
    You are the guide and the weight of her world
    So fathers be good to your daughters
    Daughters will love like you do
    Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
    So mothers be good to your daughters, too
    So mothers be good to your daughters, too
    So mothers be good to your daughters, too
