Senandung Hujan - Kahlil GIbran

Senandung Hujan

Aku adalah benang perak yang dijatuhkan dari sorga oleh para dewa ketinggian.
Alam kemudian menangkapku dan menghiasi tanah-tanah dan lembah.
Ketika aku menangis, bukit-bukit tersenyum
Ketika kurendahkan diriku, bunga-bunga bergembira
Ketika aku membungkuk, semua benda berbesar hati
Bunga-bunga menjaga ketinggian kuncupnya
Awan dan bumi adalah sepasang kekasih
dan diantara mereka, aku adalah pesuruhnya
Aku menghilangkan dahaga salah satunya
dan menyembuhkan penyakit bagi yang lainnya.

No Frontiers (Heaven Knows)

If life is a river and your heart is a boat
And just like a water baby, born to float,
And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high,
And your heart is Amelia dying to fly,
Heaven knows no frontiers and I've seen heaven in your eyes

And if life is a bar room in which we must wait,
'round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates,
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates,
And we stack all the dead men in self addressed crates,
In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark,
That somehow this black night,
Feels warmer for the spark,
Warmer for the spark,
To hold us 'til the day,
When fear will lose its grip,
And heaven has its way,
Heaven knows no frontiers,
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails,
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails,
Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right,
And your heart is a pure flame of man's constant night,
In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark,
That somehow this black night,
Feels warmer for the spark,
Warmer for the spark,
To hold us 'til the day when fear will lose its grip,
And heaven has its way,
And heaven has its way,
When all will harmonise,
And know what's in our hearts,
The dream will realise

Heaven knows no frontiers,
And I've seen heaven in your eyes,
Heaven knows no frontiers,
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

Dreams

Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound, of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat.. drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost, yeah what you had, and what you lost

Yeah, Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
And women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

Well here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself, it's only me that wants to wrap around your dreams and have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness like a heartbeat.. drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost, yeah what you had, yeah, and what you lost

Yeah, Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Yeah Women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
Yeah, Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
You will know
You will know
Fade Out
