You Are Not Alone

Suatu hari sahabatku, Maria Fransiska, memperdengarkan sebuah lagu kepadaku. A very simple song, dengan nada-nada mellow, dan lelaki yang menyanyikannya juga terasa sangat menghayatinya. Sederhana, sebenarnya kurang easy listening sih lagunya, tapi... i found something lies behind...

Yup, sesaat setelah aku ditunjukkan liriknya, aku memperhatikan dengan seksama.

And i said...

"wow..."

Sebuah lagu sederhana, namun memuat cinta.

Well, bagiku, tidak semua lagu cinta memuat cinta.

Tapi di lagu ini, aku menemukan sebuah cinta.

Sebuah cinta yang membuat lelaki ini menaikkan doa pada Tuhannya,

Memohon perlindungan, penghiburan, penyertaan, kekuatan, bagi seseorang.

Ya, seseorang.

Seseorang yang dia sangat cintai meski dia belum tahu siapa seseorang itu, karena Tuhan belum menyatakannya.

Dan ia percaya, Tuhan akan menunjukkan padanya seseorang itu, tepat pada waktunya.

Seseorang itu kelak harus tahu

Lelaki ini mencintainya, bahkan sebelum lelaki ini mengetahuinya.

...

Dan inilah lagunya:

You Are Not Alone

By : Devotion

(VERSE 1)
            G		    Em
In a dream, i hold you close 
C	       	        D
embracing you with my hands 
          G                       Em
you gazed at me with eyes full of love 
          C     	D
and made me understand 
       G		          Em
that i was meant to share it with you 
         C		                 D
my heart, my mind, my soul 
                G	
then i opened my eyes 
     Em                  C		D
and all i see, reality shows i'm alone 


(BRIDGE)
    Bm			            Em
but i know that some day that you'll be by my side 
             C			           D
cause i know god's just waiting til the time is right 


(CHORUS)
G 		                          Em  	
God will keep her safe from a thundering storm 
		                         C
when the day is cold, will you keep her warm 
	                                          D      
when darkness falls, will you please shine her the way 
G 		                         Em  	
god will you let her know that I love her so 
			                    C
when there's no one there, that's she not alone 
			            D
just close her eyes and let her know 
		       G   [ ( C ) ending only ]
my heart is beating with hers 


(VERSE 2)
           G		Em
so i pray until that day (until that day) 
                   C		             D
when our hearts will beat as one (when our hearts will beat as one) 
G		         Em
I will wait so patiently (so patiently) 
C		       D
for that to come (for that day to come) 


(BRIDGE)

(CHORUS)
	                  C
it's beating with hers 
	                               D
my heart is beating with hers 
	                   G
it's beating with hers 

(CHORUS)

	    D
oooooohoooooooh
	             G
it's beating with hers
