Hi there. This is my entry for Steemit Open Mic Week 47.

I was so excited about the Blockchain and having a good response to my songs and everything that I was moved to write a new song about it this morning.

The song starts at 1.30 if anyone wants to skip me wittering at the beginning. :-)

In my experience there is something about writing something and then performing it as soon as you can, so I've not waited to record the perfect video or the perfect intro - this is pretty much as raw as I can make it, which I think is in the spirit of the competition.

Big up to all the people in the competition and running and judging the competition. It's getting to be a pretty big job from what I can gather. @luzcypher @pfunk @verbal-d @soundlegion .

Life On The Blockchain

by Tim Wakefield @fulcanelli

I want all the people around the world to get up and sing....
'Cos I've got a cra-hay-ha-zy feeling.

Like everything's gonna be alright,
Like everything is alright,
Like everything always was alright.

And there's no need for war,
And no one need ever be poor,
And there will be no more boring meetings behind closed doors.

I want all the people who worry that they can't cope...
To have a little hope.
I want all those people who don't know where to lay their head
To have a good bed.

A good bed in a good house
A good house in a nice neighbourhood,
A nice neighbourhood in a great city
With plenty of good things to do.

And we will have barbecues,
And everybody will pay their dues by doing and saying and thinking and being
Whatever they choose.

Can you imagine a life without pain?
Can you imagine a life on the blockchain?

I want all the people around the world
To get up and sing.
'Cos I've got a crazy feeling.

Like everything's gonna be alright,
'Cos everything is alright,
'Cos' everything always was alright.

And there will be no more war,
And no one need ever be poor,
And there'll be no more boring meetings behind closed doors.

Can you imagine a life without pain?
Can you imagine a life on the blockchain?
