🎵 Hive Open Mic Week 158 - One Love People Get Ready (Cover of a Song by Bob Marley)

_{To fast forward to the performance of the song skip to 0.45 in the video.}

As I mentioned in the video with this week's theme - "Let's Defeat The Distance" (Derrotemos A La Distancia)" - I could only go with one artist, and that's the king of good vibes Bob Marley, and a cover of his song One Love People Get Ready.

This was actually the first time I have ever played this tune on guitar, so please forgive me if my chord skills aren't quite as polished as other open mic entries... as to my singing voice 😂 I am trying to become more confident singing while playing guitar, but I still feel like I have a long way to go.

Lyrics included below.

One Love People Get Ready

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children cryin' (one love)
Hear the children cryin' (one heart)
Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin' let's get together and feel all right.

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (one heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinners
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

One love, what about the one heart, one heart
What about, people, let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (one love)
So shall it be in the end (one heart)
All right! Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right, one more thing

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (one love)
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (one song)
Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin', one love, what about the one heart? (one heart)
What about the, let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleadin' to mankind (one love)
Oh, Lord (one heart) whoa

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right...
Let's get together and feel all right.

I hope you enjoyed my rendition of 'One Love People Get Ready' by Bob Marley.
