Justin Bieber - Pray

Ohh Ohh
I just cant sleep tonight.
Knowing that things aint right.
Its in the papers, its on the TV, its everywhere that I go.
Children and crying.
Soldiers are dying
Some people don’t have a home
But I know there’s sunshine behind that rain
I know there’s good times behind that pain
Hey.. can you tell me how I can make a change?

I close my eyes and I can see a brighter day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray

I lose my appetite, knowing kids starve tonight.
When I sit up, cause my dinner is still on my plate.
Ooo I got a vision, to make a difference.
And its starting today.
Cause I know there’s sunshine behind that rain
I know there’s good times behind that pain
Can you tell me how I can make a change?

I close my eyes and I can see a brighter day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray for the broken-hearted.

I pray for the life not started
I pray for all the ones not breathing.
I pray for all the souls in need.
I pray. Can you give em one today?
I just cant sleep tonight.
Can someone tell me how to make a change?

I close my eyes and I can see a brighter day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and I pray

Senja di Taman Kota

Karya : Bintang Putri Mahayana

Angin sepoi menyapa lembut
Rintik gerimis menggambar pola di air kolam
Seorang pria paruh baya
memandikan dua ekor anjing piaraanya
Pekik riang bocah-bocah kecil
Melompat, terjun, berenang, tertawa.
Rindu aku suasana kota
Saat hijau aku masih
Digendong dalam dekapan erat ayahku
Jemarinya menunjukkan padaku sesuatu di tiap sudut taman kota
Hingga pandanganku melayang seiring arah telunjuknya
Ketika sang raja mulai kembali ke peraduannya
Pulang aku dituntunya
Berselimut rasa aman bersamanya
Dan inilah senja di taman kota
Bersama angin sepoi menyapa lembut
Diiringi rintik gerimis,
yang menggambar pola di air kolam

SimPATI Freedom Teman Terbaikku

Era globalisasi dewasa ini telah menjadi suatu arus deras yang mengubah pandangan hidup sebagian besar masyarakat Indonesia khususnya. Handphone telah beralih menjadi kebutuhan primer bagi setiap orang tanpa memandang latar belakang mereka seperti apa. Perusahaan-perusahaan telekomunikasi baik negeri maupun swasta, saling berlomba menggaet konstumer sebanyak mungkin. Setiap aku melintasi ruas-ruas jalan besar ibu kota, selalu terpampang baliho yang berisikan iklan niaga beraneka ragam. Satu yang kurasa telah kulihat puluhan kali, iklan operator telekomunikasi. Entahlah, kok, sepertinya yang satu hampir ada di setiap tempat, di baliho, reklame, brosur, di mana-mana.
“Pa, kira-kira anggaran perusahaan komersial kayak begitu berapa, ya, buat promosi aja?” tanyaku pada Papa dalam perjalanan pulang dari asrama.
“Wah, banyaklah pastinya! Pasang iklan, kan, nggak murah, Mba. Apalagi untuk perusahaan besar kayak Telkomsel. Yang tadi Mba lihat itu baru yang di Kota Palembang aja, lha yang di kota-kota lain? Cabang Telkomsel itu, kan, banyak banget. Sampai ke pelosok-pelosok Indonesia malahan, ” jelas Papa panjang lebar.
Aku tergumam merenung dibuatnya hingga suara decitan kaca mobil yang dibuka turun membuatku sedikit tersentak. Papa membeli koran Sriwijaya Post dari seorang pedagang Koran eceran. Aku meminjam sebentar, mulai membaca headlines dan berita-berita actual lainnya. Tiba di halaman perniagaan, ada halaman iklan yang berisikan beragam iklan. SimPATI freedom, salah satunya. Wah, SimPATI sudah ada produk baru lagi! Dengan Sherina sebagai model iklannya, SimPATI freedom tampil elegan dengan warna dominan merahnya, pasti menarik perhatian banyak kostumer.
Sebenarnya keluargaku merupakan pengguna SimPATI sejak pertama kali memiliki telepon genggam . Tiba-tiba pikiranku kembali melayang mengingat kejadian dua hari yang lalu. Kejadian itulah yang dengan sukses membuatku menjadi bad mood sepanjang hari. Handphone ku yang telah kurang lebih seminggu ditinggal di rumah, tiba-tiba hilang atau terselip entah di mana. Semua karena ulah kedua adikku yang masih kecil. Padahal, handphone ku baru tiga bulan yang lalu dibelikan papa. Terlebih lagi, di dalamnya ada sim-card SimPATI freedom yang telah menyimpan ratusan nomor telepon teman dan keluarga, ribuan sms, dan lain sebagainya. Terlalu banyak kenangan yang telah aku lewati bersama handphone dan SimPATI ku. Kedengarannya cengeng memang, tetapi hal tersebut memang patut untuk disesalkan. Pernah sewaktu ketika melalui SimPATI ku, aku mendapatkan berita hasil seleksi masuk SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang, sekolah yang telah aku impi-impikan sejak lama. Berbagai cerita telah kubagi dan kudengar bersama teman-teman lainnya, terutama dengan sahabat baikku. Terkadang, hingga larut malam, kami masih saling sms atau telepon. Untunglah kami sesama pengguna SimPATI freedom, tentunya tidak akan terlalu mahal tarifnya. Sepanjang malam, aku merasa nyaris frustasi, SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang hanya untuk mendapatkan namaku disebutkan dalam “Daftar Siswa yang Lolos Seleksi Tahap I.” Malam itu, aku memaksa Telokmsel Flash ku sms di SimPATI freedom ku untuk mengolah data lebih banyak. Belasan sms yang masuk ke nomor SimPATI ku nyaris serupa, yaitu “Bin, gimana hasil tes nya? Tolong liatin nama aku, dong! Thanks ya!” Sambil menunggu datanya keluar di website, aku melakukan chatting bersama siswa lainnya. Wah, malam itu terasa cepat berjalan, apalagi koneksi internet yang memang ngebut, tuh! Kemudian, aku memutuskan untuk pergi tidur dan membuka website itu di pagi hari.
Keesokan harinya, tiba-tiba temanku dengan laptop di tangannya, berteriak lantang “PENGUMUMAN JUBEL SUDAH ADA!” teriaknya sambil berlari. Sontak, seantero sekolah berlari mengikutinya dan berebutan ingin melihat pengumuman itu. Syukurlah, aku diterima. Bangga, senang, puas rasanya. Walaupun baru tahap seleksi I, namun sudah cukup membuat hariku lebih cerah.
“Hei, kok bengong?” tanya papa mengagetkanku. Aku seketika tersadar bahwa aku telah terhanyut dalam lamunanku terlalu lama.
“Hehe, enggak kok, Pa, “ jawabku mengeles sambil tertawa kecil.
Ternyata pengalaman bersama SimPATI yang selalu setia menemaniku dalam keadaan apapun itu, baru kusadari maknanya. Beberapa hari ini aku aakan mulai menabung untuk dapat membeli handphone baru sendiri, tentunya dengan SimPATI freedom yang baru, penghubung tali silahturahmiku dengan sesama.

Dad - you're too kind for me

I cant be always your perfect daughter..
Well, at least i'm still your little princess
Remember when I couldn't even hide my tears?
Each drops would never healed my pain
But you'd always there
Right beside me
No matter what it's like
And you showed me beneath the stars
That there's new horizon to be shared
You guide me through the ups and downs
You lift me up of sorrows
You hold me and afraid of letting me fall
But you'd never be afraid of making me someone new
I'm not your little girl anymore
Sooner or later I'll be a person
I'm still tryna figure out all this confusing things
There's nothing happens like what exactly it is
I believe in it because you told me
A miracle is sometimes like you've never thought about
And in this afternoon, I cried on my bed
I locked myself in the room
It's as if I hate you
NO!
I just can't let me to see you
You're too kind
You're too kind to be my dad
If I were you, then I'd push me out of the house
Left me in the street side
Alone, feels lonely in a hazardous life
It's just kinda silly me
But I'm
sorry

Wish Upon A Star - Samantha Mumba

Remember when I said I won’t miss you

The truth is that I do

I never stopped thinking about you

We are meant together the two of us are bound

Now it seems like forever I can’t get you off my mind

If I could wish upon a star

Then I would hold you in my arms

And I know we could love once again

If could turn the hands of time

Then you would love to still be mine

Baby I would be right where you are

If I could wish upon a star

It obvious and everyone one can see

Baby you and are truly meant to be

But nothing turns around

If only I could make you realize

If only time could give us just another chance

Id prove it all to you

If I could wish upon a star

If I could turn the hands of time

Then Id be in your arms again

If I could wish upon a star

Then I would hold you in my arms

And I know we could love once again

If could turn the hands of time

Then you would love to still be mine

Baby I would be right where you are

If I could wish upon a star

If I could wish upon a star

Leaving on A Jet Plane - Chantal Kreviazuk

I'm ... I'm ...

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

I'm ...

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say ...

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

But I'm leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Leaving) On a jet plane
