This Is Me

I am not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
‘Cause we don’t want your broken parts
I’ve learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one’ll love you as you are
But I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ’cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

 

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away ’cause today, I won’t let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades and
Reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that’s what we’ve become (yeah, that’s what we’ve become)

I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ’cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
This is me

and I know that I deserve your love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) ’cause there’s nothing I’m not worthy of
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is proof
This is who I’m meant to be, this is me

Look out ’cause here I come (look out ’cause here I come)
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I’m gonna send a flood
Gonna drown them out
Oh
This is me

Matahari Yang Bersinar

more flowers

Matahari yang bersinar Kau yang ciptakan
Bulan bintang berkilauan Kau yang jadikan
Begitu juga kami Tuhan
di mataMu amatlah berharga
Besar kasihMu kepadaku

Bunga bakung yang dipadang Kau yang p’lihara
Burung pipit di udara Kau yang B’ri makan
Begitu juga kami Tuhan
yang berharap hanya kepadaMu
Tak perlu kuatir hari esok

Kubersyukur karna kasih setiaMu
s’lalu baru s’perti fajar merekah
Tiap janjiMu pelihara hidupku
Hari ini esok dan selamanya

My Savior My God

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed what God Has planned
I only know at his right hand
Stands one who is my Savior

I take him at his word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find the need
Of him to be my Savior

That he would leave his place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You called it strange so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

Reff 2x:
My Savior loves My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God he was My God he is
My God he’s always gonna be

Yes living, dying let me bring
My strength my Solace from the Spring
That he who lives to be my king
Once died to be my Savior

That he would leave his place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You called it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

Back to reff 2x

Hallelujah

Saya lagi suka dengerin lagu Hallelujah versi anak ajaib dari brazil yaitu Jotta featuring Michely Manuely. Berhubung saya tidak tahu artinya, pake bahasa inggris saja liriknya. Let’s sing

i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don’t really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah…

well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah…

baby i’ve been here before
i’ve seen this room and i’ve walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

hallelujah…

well there was a time when you let me know
what’s really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there’s a god above
but all i’ve ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it’s not a cry that you hear at night
it’s not somebody who’s seen the light
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

hallelujah…

I Won’t Give Up

When I look into your eyes
It’s like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There’s so much they hold

And just like them old stars
I see that you’ve come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up

And when you’re needing your space
To do some navigating
I’ll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

‘Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We’ve got a lot to learn
God knows we’re worth it
No, I won’t give up

I don’t wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I’m here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake

And in the end, you’re still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn’t break, we didn’t burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I’ve got, and what I’m not, and who I am

I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up, still looking up.

I won’t give up on us (no I’m not giving up)
God knows I’m tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We’ve got a lot to learn (we’re alive, we are loved)
God knows we’re worth it (and we’re worth it)

I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up

Tiup lilin for our first special celebration

Today my Life Begins

 

I’ve been working hard so long
seems like pain has been my only friend
my fragile heart’s been done so wrong
I wondered if I’d ever heal again

Ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
All around me I can feel a change (Ohh)

I will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins,
a whole new world is waiting It’s mine for the taking,
I know I can make it, today my life begins

Yesterday has come and gone
and I’ve learned how to leave it where it is
and I see that I was wrong
for ever doubting I could win

Ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
All around me I can feel a change (ohh)

I will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me,
leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it’s mine for the taking
I know I can make it, today my life begins

life’s too short to have regrets
so I’m learning now to leave it in the past and try to forget
only have one life to live
so you better make the best of it

I will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins,
a whole new world is waiting it’s mine for the taking
I know I can make it, today my life begins

I will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me,
leave the past behind me, today my life begins,
a whole new world is waiting it’s mine for the taking
I know I can make it, today my life begins,
today my life begins…

Bryan Adams – Here I Am

Tema lagu bulan ini adalah  Bryan Adam – Here I Am. Lagu yang memberikan saya semangat untuk terus berkarya. It’s a new world it’s a new start. It’s alive with the beating of young hearts. It’s a new day it ‘s a new plan and i’ve been waiting for you… here I am *karokean*.

Tanpa berlama-lama, mari nyanyi lagu ini biar tambah semangat 😀

Here I am this is me
There’s no where else on Earth I’d rather be
Here I am it’s just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true

It’s a new world it’s a new start
It’s alive with the beating of young hearts
It’s a new day it ‘s a new plan
I’ve been waiting for you
Here I am

Here we are we’ve just begun
And after all this time our time has come
Ya here we are still goin’ strong
Right here in the place where we belong

Here I am next to you

Elegi Kehidupan

Lagu-lagu sekarang ini kok lebih banyak cerita tentang cinta, selingkuh, patah hati, galau. Kadang saya jenuh dengan pilihan lagu sekarang. Apakah masih ada yang mau menciptakan lagu tentang tema yang lain?  Masih ada sih yang eskis mempertahankan tema humanis, alam, lingkungan  seperti Bang Ebit G ade, Iwan Fals, Nugi, dll. Sayang, jumlahnya masih bisa dihitung dengan jari. Gambar diambil disini.

Saya masih ingat, ketika kecil saya sering nyanyi Lagu Elegi Kehidupan yang dinyanyikan oleh Julius Sitanggang. Lagu tentang keindahan alam. Liriknya bagus deh, seperti dibawah ini:

Pandanglah telaga bening
Kita rasakan kedamaian
Gemercik suara air menghempas batuan
Senandung alam tercipta

Pucuk daunanpun bergoyang
Kupu-kupu hinggap dibunga
Sayup kicau burung dialam bebas ini
memekikan kerinduan

Saksikan langit nan biru mega yang berarak
Bagai lukisan sang dewa dalam legendanya
Cobalah jauh menatap lebih dalam lagi
Mari ungkapkan seribu rahasia alam

Mungkin kau disitu damai abadi berada
Tiada kenistaan tiada lagi kegalauan
Mungkin kau disana terbentang taman cintanya
semua tak menjawab karena kita tak bertanya

Semoga lebih banyak lagi musisi dan pencipta lagu  yang mau berkisah tentang anak, alam dan kehidupan. Ada yang tahu lagu diatas dan bisa menyanyikannya? Nyanyi bareng yuk 😀

Nonton X Factor

Kesuksesan seseorang bisa dirain karena beberapa hal seperti kerja keras, semangat, bakat, keberuntungan,  dan faktor lainnya. Terkadang tidak cukup itu saja, kita perlu satu faktor tambahan, apakah itu? ya, X Factor.  Seperti ajang pencarian bakat lainnya, acara X Factor USA punya sesuatu yang berbeda.

Masih belum ketinggalan banget sih, kamu bisa nonton di B Chanel Kamis-Jumat jam 9 malam atau Sabtu minggu Jam 9 malam yang ada terjemahannya, tetapi kalo ketinggalan bisa klik disini untuk lihat performance para peserta.

It must have been love yang dinyanyiin Drew Ryniewicz keren banget disini. Satu lagi yang saya suka lagu will you still love me tomorrow by Caitlin Koch disini. Ternyata saya baru denger lagu ini, kemana aja ya gue hehehe. Nyanyi aja yuk 😀

Tonight you’re mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
And you say that I’m the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning star?

Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Jason Mraz On Java Jazz Festizal 2009

jason-mraz1 Meski sudah seminggu acara Java Jazz Festival di Balai sidang Jakarta 6-9 Maret 2009, tak ada salahnya menyanyikan sebuah lagu dari Jason Mraz . Lucky…

Gambar diambil dari Kompas cetak tanggal 7 Maret 2009.

Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky oh my, baby I’m trying
Yeah I hear you in my dreams
I hear your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oooohhhhoohhhhohhooohhooohhooohoooh
