A massive shout out to @lordbutterfly for this wonderful initiative and opportunity as well. Thanks to another wonderful human @george-dee for inviting me to join in...and this is my first time here and hopefully many more time to come for me too.

This song warms my heart and it depicts the state of the world and also explains to us that we all have a part to play in making everything better if we truly care. Love is always the answer and we need one another. No one can make it out here all alone.

When we care enough, share enough, the world will have enough. The world have enough of our needs but never enough for our greed. What do we have that we have not been given at some point too? Enough with the violence, vindictiveness, anger, bitterness and hatred. What we don't want to be done to us shouldn't be done to others. When we see it from this angle, maybe, just maybe we can all learn to do things better.

Enjoy the music and I hope you like it. It's a song I am passionate about and I hope that passion shines through.

"We Are Here" - Alicia Keys.

We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here

Bombs over Baghdad
Tryna get something we never had
Let's start with a good dad
It's so real but it's so sad
And while we're burning this incense
We gonna pray for the innocent
Cause right now it don't make sense
Right now it don't make sense
Let's talk about Chi-town
Let's talk about Gaza
Let's talk about, let's talk about Israel
Cause right now it is real
Let's talk about, let's talk Nigeria
And the mass hysteria, yeah
Our souls are brought together
So that we can love each other, brother

We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here

No guns made in Harlem
But yet crime is a problem
He wanna shine, they wanna rob him
Single mother, where they come from
How we gonna save the nation
With no support for education
Cause right now it don't make sense
Right now it don't make sense
Let's talk about our part
My heart to your heart
Let's talk about, let's talk about living
Had enough of dying
Not what we all about
Let's do more giving, do more forgiving, yeah
Our souls are brought together
So that we could love each other, sister

We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here

Wow, it's been a while I saw your music video and this is quite satisfying. I know the song very well and it preaches about the need for love to reign again in the world.

Well done sir and happy Sunday to you.

Even in my own life, when there is a problem and I don't understand its solution, and life is going into trouble, then I also listen to my favorite songs for some time, then the trouble ends and its A solution must come out.

Music is a great escape and music helps a lot I have to admit.

Oh! I even forgot
He actually nailed the performance...that was a great one sir

Thank you so much, bro. I am really excited and encouraged to be honest. More to come.

Thank you for telling me about this and I am more than happy to join in on it. Thank you for always reaching out and for your kind heart. It means a lot.

You are welcome come sir, I am glad you participated. You voice is awesome and it's a blessing to our ears, well done sir

I feel blessed and encouraged. God bless your heart, brother.

You sing very well with a good voice too.
You are indeed multi talented. As for the song it's my favourite from Alicia keys and one of my favourite songs, see me singing along with you, hehehe
Welldone.

Thank you so much. Really appreciate your kind words. It means a lot. I love her song too especially this one.

Nice one brother your presentation was pretty cool keep the great work.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate this and you.

The lyrics of the song are very meaningful, and you have sung it well this time.

Thank you very much, my friend.

My friend @olawalium is fantastic. You presentations perfect congratulations

Thank you very much. I deeply appreciate your kind words.

Awesome bro

Yaaaaay. Thank you very much.

I think I have hear about this name Alicia keys before. One of the popular female singer right? I think I have also hear her sing this girl is on fire and I think that really went viral to announce her so much. I will try to listen to this one

She actually has a lot of pretty collection of songs that sends out thunderous messages.... She's really amazing

She's an inspiration. Bless her.

Yes, she's an amazing artist and this is one of my favourite of her songs. Thank you very much.

Oh no wonder. It is quite rare for Nigerians to know her though. I have listen to some of her songs in the time past and I must say her songs always carried along powerful messages across that breathes to the soul

Rare? She's a global star and I am sure a lot of people know her to be honest.

Actually that's true but I can still bet that some people might not know her still. Take for example I, it was yesterday I eventually come across her. I didn't know her before not until last year and I believe probably there might be many in my shoe just like that who does not even know her yet

I love the music and your voice is perfect for it as well, well done boo

Yaaaaay. Boo boo. Thanks a lot darling.

Hehehe 😁

😚☺️😚☺️😚☺️

Ahah
Ehhhhh
God when. I love the performance though
You did well

😂😂🤣😂 you this lady enh. Thank you very much darling.

That was nice, KP. I kept smiling all through and that's because KP is back to singing on Hive again. Hahaha 😆
That was an amazing performance. You have changed oo KP or is it the hair and beards that made it so? 😁😁

🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣 I am happy to be back singing and hopefully more of this. Thank you very much, KP. Yes, it is the full hair and beards... cutting them soon.

You said perfectly true. When we share enough, the world will be enough to have enough also. In fact I strongly believe the world needs us to spread our positivity and what we have abroad. Strong message you really passed across here

The world needs us. A lot rests on us. We have to do our part. We need to do more living.

Perfectly true. The world will be in a much better place to be if we can actually plays our role that the world needs us to play. Everyone of us is needed to transform the world and bring it to a more better place it should be. Just that a lot of people are seeing it that it is for few people or for some just people which is not so. It is for everyone of us

Absolutely. It's a collective effort and we all have a part to play. It's not for selected few but for everyone.

That's true. It is not meant for some, it is meant for. We all have the role to play in it and we must engaged in it as one. We should not only live it to people at the top, when we take this from this perspective, we will begin to see the change we want to see without stress and that is how it should be done.

Only if my fellow human being can realise this actually

If, I'm to be honest, Alicia keys need to do a remix of this song with you, the calmness in the voice tells it all, what a great song and an absolute beautiful voice

😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣 my head is swelling really big right now hahahaha. Thank you so much for your kind words. Means a lot.

You deserve it boss

❣️❣️❣️

Competitions like this should happen, it makes one know the talent within and you have performed this song very well, I like your voice very much and I also follow you on Twitter. If you have done it, we pray that you win this competition.

I saw your follow on Twitter. Thanks a lot for listening and being there. It means a lot. Thank you, my friend.

Very nice song and very nice interpretation on your part my friend, the world needs more love, there are no pacifist bombs so to speak, but this song speaks of what the world really needs and we should be messengers of hope and love in the world, this message and the song as such is powerful, thank you for interpreting it and for presenting it to all of us, hug and happy start of the week ♥

It's what the world needs...no doubt. I am glad you can relate to the interpretation as well. I am glad to have you here. Thank you, my friend.

Beautiful interpretation again friend, I know the artist or her career but to be honest I had not heard that song and what a blessing to have known it thanks to you because it is a call for all of us and that we have to give more than we receive, a hug friend ♥

I am glad you got to know about the song now. That's the reason I love this contest...we get to be introduced to so many songs.

Very cool initiative and very beautiful song by Alicia Keys and very beautiful interpretation by you dear friend, no doubt it's a great combination ♥, thanks for presenting it to all of us, a hug friend ♥

This is fantastic, I enjoyed listening to your music. Is the competition still on? I haven't done this before though.

I want to believe it is still on and you can get in on it. Thank you very much, dear.

Just maybe!! We could have a change of heart and know that life indeed is all about our relationship with others.

Just maybe!!! We tell ourselves that we have a role to play even if not to make the whole world better to atleast make the lives of our neighbors better.

Alicia really gave out all the wordings to good life, it was an inspiring speech from her rendered with melodic songs
Growing up we kept singing the song even without appreciating the wordings but then going back to it as an adult and listening to the songs alongside the lyrics, it was an apt performance

I love her lyrics and how she clearly relates to what's happening in the world and what's to be done. It was a wonderful song...deep meaning and I am glad you saw it that way too. Thank you very much.

You're right, what we don't want done to us, let's not do to others, I wish many people gave meaning to this phrase, some act so badly, all because of their arrogance, anger, envy, etc., feelings that only harm us and harm others.
I saw the video, I moved my feet to the rhythm of the music, I liked it.
A hug my friend

Music is the only thing that takes us out of our worries and makes our life peaceful again for some time and we forget our worries and start enjoying music and I have been fond of listening to classical music since childhood and here But our legend, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, I mostly listen to his music, once you listen to his English version, you will definitely like it too.

I will try and listen to it. Indeed, music is a great escape. I love listening and singing too.

Gracias, amigo. 😊😊😊
