HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 137| THEME: HEALING|HEAL THE WORLD BY MICHAEL JACKSON|FINGERSTYLE GUITAR COVER(FULL VERSION)

Hello everyone! I welcome you to the 137th week on the HiveopenMic Weekly musical celebration. I am very glad and honoured to be participating in this week's contest.

This week, we are presented with a very nice and timely theme of Healing.

Apart from medical sickness, we experience from time to time different traumatic experiences that hurt us emotionally or psychologically, leaving us frustrated. Sometimes we transfer these frustration on people around us and they also continue that chain of transfer of frustration, hence making the world a place of hate and spite.

All these mean that we are in need of internal healing and as we know, for healing to take place, there is a need for a therapeutic agent. In the medical field, the therapeutic agent is medicine, but in emotional and psychological sickness, the therapeutic agent we need is definitely Love

With the right amount of love, we can first of all learn to heal ourselves first. When we are healed, when we become hale and hearty in our emotional states then we can be better positioned to heal the world around us.

So in response to the theme of this week, I will present the legendary song of the legend, Michael Jackson titled, Heal the world
A song that suggests love as a healing agent.

NB I took time to score all the melodies of the song and I played it with my acoustic guitar, adding the chords simultaneously.

I hope you do enjoy it!!

Song Lyrics

Think about—um—the generations and they say we wanna make it a better place for our children, and our children's children, so that they they they know it's a better world for them, and think if they can make it a better place

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow

And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel there's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving

If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world
To make a better world

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace

Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this Earth, crucify its soul?
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers

Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place
