Good day, fellow hivers.
This is Hive Open Mic 121 and the theme is Love for family.
I'd been busy this whole week and just got to picking a song till this evening. Hence, why the video is slightly dark.
I selected this song because the chorus talks about fathers and mothers living their daughters unequivocally. Daughters will fall in love and raise the next generation of children, so the way they are raised is highly important.
This song is one of my favorite John Mayer songs and I am absolutely pleased that I get to record it for you guys.
Here are the lyrics
I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
She's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me
Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too...
Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made
So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too
Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong and boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from a woman's good, good heart...
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the guide and the weight of her world
So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
