Dalam hidup apa yang berarti?
Kita hidup tidak lebih panjang dari waktu sore yang tergelincir pada petang. Dan apa yang kita usahakan semua menguap tak berbekas. Semua darma yang kita lakukanlah yang akan kembali menampakkan wujudnya. Baikkah atau burukkah, semua tergantung apa yang kita usahakan pada waktu yang singkat itu.
The evil men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones. (William Shakespeare)
Aku tidak sepenuhnya setuju dengan ungkapan tersebut meskipun pada kenyataannya ada benarnya juga. Itu mungkin salah satu cara sebuah momen bisa teringat selamanya. Melalui apa yang sudah kita lakukan dan usahakan kepada orang lain ataupun lingkungan sekitar kita. Aku percaya baik ‘evil deeds’, ataupun ‘good deeds’ semuanya akan tetap hidup sekalipun orang tersebut sudah wafat.
Bicara tentang masa hidup, lagu ini benar-benar membuatku bisa meneteskan air mata berlama-lama. Ada kesedihan, ketenangan, kegelisahan, sekaligus kekecewaan dalam satu alunan nada ini. Satu lagu dari tahun 1997, dan yang satunya 2017. Akan aku tuliskan lirik mereka disini
All alone, I didn’t like the feeling
All alone, I sat and cried
All alone, I had to find some meaning
In the center of the pain I felt insideAll alone, I came into the world
All alone, I will someday die
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
Sand and water, and a million years gone byI will see you in the light of a thousand suns
I will hear you in the sound of the waves
I will know you when I come, as we all will come,
Through the doors, beyond the graveAll alone, I heal this heart of sorrow
All alone, I raise this child
Flesh and bone, he’s just
Bursting towards tomorrow
And his laughter fills my world, and wears your smileAll alone, I came into the world
All alone, I will someday die
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
Sand and water, and a million years gone bySongwriters: Beth Nielsen Chapman
Tittle : Sand and WaterHow does a moment last forever?
How can a story never die?
It is love we must hold onto
Never easy, but we try
Sometimes our happiness is captured
Somehow, our time and place stand still
Love lives on inside our hearts and always willMinutes turn to hours, days to years and gone
But when all else has been forgotten
Still our song lives onMaybe some moments weren’t so perfect
Maybe some memories not so sweet
But we have to know some bad times
Or our lives are incomplete
Then when the shadows overtake us
Just when we feel all hope is gone
We’ll hear our song and know once more
Our love lives onHow does a moment last forever?
How does our happiness endure?
Through the darkest of our troubles
Love is beauty, love is pure
Love pays no mind to desolation
It flows like a river through the soul
Protects, persists, and perseveres
And makes us wholeMinutes turn to hours, days to years then gone
But when all else has been forgotten
Still our song lives on
How does a moment last forever:
When our song lives onSongwriters : Tim Rice & Alan Menken
