It's exciting to participate in the hive open mic 133, with the theme "opportunity". I will be performing a cover of opportunity by sia.
The first time I heard the song was in the movie ANNIE. She seized the opportunity she had with Mr STACKS and it was a life changing one.
This particular scene where she presented the song in the movie was so emotional as she expressed how her dreams have come true and her life changed.
Once in a while opportunities come knocking at our doors, most people rush to open and grab it, while others are sluggish about it.
Opportunities don't come frequently and it is important that we search and diligently seize the one that comes our way.
Under the glow of the very bright lights
I turn my face towards the warm night sky
And I am not afraid of a thousand eyes
When they're above five hundred smiles
Oh I used to think (she used to think)
What wouldn't I give (what wouldn't she give)
For a moment like this? (For a moment like this?)
This moment this gift
Oh, now look at me and this opportunity
Is standing right in front of me
But one thing I know it's only part luck and so
I'm putting on my best show
Under the spotlight I'm starting my life
Big dreams becoming real tonight
So look at me and this opportunity
You're witnessing my moment, you see?
Now I find myself here, and it's time
Yes this is real, and it's a gold-mine
I'm not afraid to fly
When it's above five hundred smiles
Oh I used to think (she used to think)
What wouldn't I give (what wouldn't she give)
For a moment like this?
This moment, this gift (for a moment like this?)
Oh, now look at me and this opportunity
Is standing right in front of me
One thing I know it's only part luck and so
I'm putting on my best show
Under the spotlight I'm starting my life
Big dreams becoming real tonight
So, look at me and this opportunity
You're witnessing my moment, you see?
