About :

Hello Hive Open Community! It's good to be back and participating in another challenge with the topic "Fight Oppression." Due to my severe illness and terrible voice last week, I was unable to participate in the previous competition. I've just made the decision to put my health first and take a break from blogging. Thankfully, my voice has stopped being scratchy, so I can sing again. I'd like to share a song with you for this week's challenge that I just recently learnt. We Gotta Pray is the name of Alicia Keys' song. Actually, it was difficult for me to select a song that fit the theme because most of the ones I did find were sung by men, and my voice couldn't manage their ranges. I'm glad I found this one because I know it's perfect for this subject.

"We Gotta Pray"

We gotta pray
We gotta pray

We gotta pray, pray for the world tonight
We gotta save, somebody save somebody tonight
Fire in the air, what the Hell going on?
Sirens everywhere, singing that street song
Violence everywhere, barely holding on

What the Hell going on? Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?

We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life, one extraordinary question
Are we gonna run or fight?
So we gotta pray

Pray for the love tonight
End of the day, pray for another try
Smoke is in the sky, what the Hell going on?
Bullets gonna fly, hot right from the gun
Trying not to cry, barely holding on

What the Hell going on? Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?

We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life, one extraordinary question
Are we gonna live or die?
So we gotta pray

We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray

Takeaways 🍀🍀

In light of the current state of turmoil, it is difficult to identify the true decent people in the world. Many people still take advantage of the poor in order to appear better than they really are, but few of them actually want to lend a hand. I was among those who saw how some people get violent when I was growing up. Others may become violent as a result of life's difficulties, but others may become violent as a result of the influence of other people.

We gotta pray, pray for the world tonight 🎼🎼

Morning or night, the bloodshed exists, and we have no idea who the next victims will be. May we be protected and given the proper view to refrain from doing this evil deeds.

Pray for another try 🎼🎼

For all of us, I'm sure it's not too late. I think everyone has the capacity to grow if they are ready to acknowledge their shortcomings and make amends. I remain convinced that this world will once more be in order for the coming generation. Everything will be peaceful, no one will suffer, no one will die as a result of poverty, no young people will be victims of violence, and those in control of the countries will also be well. To make it all happen, we must collaborate.
