HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 154 --- OPPORTUNITY (Cover)

The first time I heard the song was in a movie titled "Annie" which I saw in the year 2018, eventhough the movie was released in the year 2014. I was thrilled at show the little girl Annie sang beautifully well in the movie and how she never gave up on her dreams of finding her parents. At a point, she was being used a political bait for the man campaigning for the post of the Mayor of New York in the movie.

Sia Furler is a 47 years old female song writer and singer. She's an Australian and was born and raised in Adelaide. Sia is known far and wide for her beautiful songs and unmatched lyrics. She's so gifted in composing and singing songs. The dexterity in her voice is second to none. She's also a record producer and music video director.

Her song in the movie Annie was one of the major reasons why I loved and still love the movie. I couldn't even bring myself to deleting the movie on my laptop for a very long time 😁. I sincerely hope you'd enjoy the presentation of my entry for this week just the way I enjoyed the movie. Thank you and enjoy your day 🤗🤗.

LYRICS

Under the glow, of the very bright lights
I turn my face towards the warm night sky
And I am not afraid of a thousand eyes
When they're above
Five hundred smiles

Oh I used to think (Oh she used to think)
What wouldn't I give (What wouldn't she give)
For a moment like this (A moment like this)
This moment is gift

Oh, now look at me
And this opportunity
Is standing right in front of me
But one thing I know
It's only part-luck and so
I'm putting on my best show
Under the spotlight
I'm starting my life
Big dreams becoming real tonight
So look at me and this opportunity
You're witnessing my moment, you see

Now I find myself here, and it's time
This is real, an it's a gold mine
I'm not afraid to fly
When it's above
Five hundred smiles

Oh I used to think (Oh she used to think)
What wouldn't I give (What wouldn't she give)
For a moment like this (A moment like this)
This moment is gift

And now look at me and this opportunity
Is standing right in front of me
But one thing I know
It's only part-luck an so
I'm putting on my best show
Under the spotlight
I'm starting my life
Big dreams becoming real tonight
So, look at me and this opportunity
You're witnessing my moment, you see

My big opportunity
I won't waste it

I guarantee
