HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 182| OLDER BY SASHA

Hello my fellow Music lovers. I am so glad to be participating once again on hive open mic. I have been really busy these few weeks; and as a matter, I have not been able to post anything here on hive open mic for quite awhile. First I want to appreciate @stefy.music in a very special way for the wonderful theme of the week.

For this week hive open mic, I will be doing the song Older by Sasha Sloan. The Song Older by Sasha is a beautiful song, and it's one of my favourites. For some reason this very song have been ringing in my head for quite a while now, and I think is time for me to spill it out. Yes, that is one of the reasons behind the fact that I choose this song for this week's open mic.

The Song Older is a speak so much about maturity as well as the consequences that comes along with it. As Children, we tend to not understand the reason behind so many things; and as a result, we misconceive the actions of our Parents. We conceive a world were our Parents will life on perfect union without understanding the challenges that comes along relationships. In reaction to this very fact, Sasha sang the song Older, and she confessed the realities maturity has helped her come to terms with.

For this week presentation, I will be doing a complete acapella of this song with no harmony of any such, and I hope you enjoy it.

LYRICS
I use to shut my door
When my momma acrimed in the kitchen
I turned the music on
Get high and try not to listen
To every little shout
Cause neither one was right
I swore I will never be like them
But I was just a kid back then

The Older I get
The more that I see
My parents aren't hero
They're just like me
Loving is hard
It don't always work
You just try your best
Not to get hurt
I use to be mad
But now I know
Sometimes it better to let someone go it just hadn't hit me yet
The Older I get

I use to wonder why
Why they would never be happy
I use to close my eyes
And pray for a home not a family
Where everything was right
Ona that seemed like mine
I swore I will never be like them
But I was just a kid back then

The Older I get
The more that I see
My parents aren't hero
They're just like me
Loving is hard
It don't always work
You just try your best
Not to get hurt
I use to be mad
But now I know
Sometimes it better to let someone go it just hadn't hit me yet
The Older I get
