Hey everyone! I am pretty new to steemit, and I am blown away by the active community. I just recently found out about this open mic contest, and figured it would be the perfect opportunity to start putting myself out there more and get used to stepping out of my comfort zone.
I love music. I love listening to it. I love making it. It is one of my life's true passions, and I am very excited to see this type of interaction happening right here on my new favorite platform.
This is my cover of "Cobracoustic" by the Cobraskulls. I hope you enjoy it, I love this song. :)
Lyrics:
When I walk the streets of Cairo
I empathize as I go
And I feel ashamed of the land from where I came
Ashamed of where I came
Where we think different people
Are the ones that harbor evil
But you gotta think harder 'cuz we're all the same
Think harder cuz we're all the same.
Stop fearing people before you meet them
And don't keep enemies until you must defeat them
My country love it or leave it
Well that's shit and I don't believe it
A decaying standard and it's begging for change
The standard is begging for change
Freedom is relative, I feel relatively free where I live
But down in Cairo, it's not our's to give
Down in Cairo freedom's not our's to give
So stop fearing people before you meet them
And don't keep enemies until you must defeat them
With our birds up high, and their sons below
You don't know where every bomb will blow
With their sons below, and our birds up high
Are we made to be friends in heaven when we die?
Stop fearing people before you meet them
And don't keep enemies until you must defeat them
When I walk the streets of Cairo
I empathize as I go
And I feel ashamed of the land from where I came.
