Sound Music: Praise and Worship week 54/ Dear God by Avenged Sevenfold (Piano cover by @joanm897)

---

Hello everyone in this wonderful community of great musicians and artists from around the world. May God bless you all and continue to have success on Hiveblog. First I want to thank @stefy.music and @daniel2001 for creating this excellent initiative that motivates all the members of this community and I hope it continues for many weeks and years. For this week number 54 I wanted to do a piano cover of a somewhat different song from a not so well known group. Following this week's theme of God's Time, this pop rock song came to mind in which the lyrics talk about a person who asks God to protect his love or his loved ones because he had to go away for a while and would like to be with them. Despite this, he knows that God's time is perfect and although it is a difficult situation, he has faith that he will soon be able to see them again and reunite with them. The lyrics also talk about how lonely the life of a musician is when he goes on tour and has to go through long lonely roads and paths to reach his destination. The song is a reminder that friendships are fundamental to human happiness, and that sometimes we only realize their importance when we are away from them.

Lyrics/ Letra

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose undefined
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
And where I'd love to be, oh yeah
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
To hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
And all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again
Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
When hope begins to fade
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose undefined
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Hola a todos en esta maravillosa comunidad de @music1sound de grandes músicos y artistas de todo el mundo. Que dios los bendiga y sigan teniendo éxitos en Hiveblog. Primero quiero agradecer a @stefy.music y @daniel2001 por crear esta excelente iniciativa que motiva a todos los integrantes de esta comunidad y espero que siga durante muchas semanas y años. Para esta semana numero 54 quise hacer hacer un cover en el piano de una canción algo diferente y de un grupo no tan conocido. Siguiendo el tema de esta semana como lo es el Tiempo de Dios, se me vino a la cabeza esta canción de pop rock en la que la letra habla acerca de una persona que le pide a Dios que proteja su amor o a sus seres queridos porque tuvo que irse lejos por un tiempo y quisiera estar con ellos. A pesar de esto sabe que el tiempo de Dios es perfecto y aunque es una situación difícil tiene fe en que pronto los podrá a volver a ver y reunirse con ellos. La letra tambien habla de lo solitario que es la vida de un músico cuando se va de gira y tiene que pasar por carreteras y largos caminos solitarios para poder llegar a su destino. La canción es un recordatorio de que las amistades son fundamentales para la felicidad humana y que, a veces, solo nos damos cuenta de su importancia cuando estamos lejos de ellos.
