Ngga tau yah, kayanya sih lagu ini cocok banget sama situasi dunia sekarang (dalam hal ini: anak-anak)
Apalagi lirik2 awalnya, ngena banget. "...for someone to hold..." *brb nangis*
Kemaren sih pas pesantren geledek, ustadnya *yang notabene ga jelas banget* sempet nyinggung2 tentang situasi Somalia gitu.
Katanya, jadi disana situasi kelaparannya bener2 lagi akut gitu, bener2 parah. Stadium akhir lah istilahnya.
Terus, saking parahnya, sampe2 per satu jam itu ada satu orang yang mati disana. Gosh.
Trus ada lagi, katanya sampe ada insiden, seorang ibu yang punya tiga anak, tiga ya, ninggalin dua anaknya yang udah hampir mati dan cuma nyelametin satu yang lebih kuat, jadi paling ngga ada satu keturunannya yang hidup. *sob*
Kalo udah menyangkut anak2 gini, gue jadi ga tega deh, beneran. Keinget waktu Aceh tsunami dulu, yang bayi-bayi berubah menjadi mayat-mayat yang dijejerin gitu. Astagaaaaaaaaa ya Tuhaaaaaaaannn.
Dan yang namanya humanity sekarang ini kayanya udah ngga terlalu diperhatikan lagi sama manusia2 abad ini.

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 of 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 of 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 behind
Stand up for life
Stand up and sing
Stand up for love
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 of 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 of 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

Then no one will get left behind
Stand up for life
Stand up and sing
Stand up for love
For love
For love
For love
