"Stand Up For Love"
(Destiny's Child)

There are times I find it hard to sleep at night
We are living through such troubled times
And every child that reaches out for someone to hold
For one moment they become my own

And how can I pretend that I don’t know what’s going on?
When every second with every minute another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness
Of giving up
Of suffering

Then we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
And stand up for life
Stand up and hear me sing
Stand up for love

I'm inspired and hopeful each and everyday
That's how I know that things are gonna change

So how can I pretend that I don’t know what’s going on?
When every second with every minute
Another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness
Of giving up
Of suffering

If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
Stand up for life
Stand up for love

And it all starts right here
And it starts right now
One person stand up
And the rest will follow
For all the forgotten
For all the unloved
I'm gonna sing this song

And I believe that in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness
Of giving up
Of suffering

If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behindStand up for life
Stand up and sing
Stand up for love
For loveFor love

Tahun 2006 belum genap seminggu, tapi banyak sekali musibah yang terjadi...

Banjir bandang di Jember...

Bomb (lagi!) di Palu...

Demam berdarah dimana-mana...

Dan yang masih tersisa dari tahun-tahun sebelumnya, korban tsunami... kelaparan...

Masya Allah...
Kemaren pas denger lagu ini rasanya 'ngena' banget... Apalagi ternyata lagu ini juga jadi soundtrack untuk program "Peduli Kasih"...

Aku selalu berdoa semoga kita semua bisa mengambil hikmah atas setiap musibah, ujian, dan bahkan rejeki yang kita peroleh. Dan semoga rakyat Indonesia khususnya bisa semakin bersatu dan mempererat tali kasih dan persaudaraan untuk menciptakan perdamaian di dunia, di bumi, dan di hati...
