Cerita Sedih yang Tidak Perlu Disedih-sedihkan

Ini adalah lagu terbaru daripada Maher Zain bertajuk Freedom. Ceritanya sama seperti kebanyakkan lagu-lagu Palestin yang lain. Perjuangan menentang Israel dan pengorbanan ke arah kemerdekaan. Bezanya, lagu Freedom ini disampaikan dengan sangat positif sama ada dari segi lirik mahupun melodinya. Sangat sedap didengar dan senang untuk dihayati.

Inilah yang dikatakan kepentingan menggunakan ayat yang betul untuk mendapatkan perhatian (power of words). Tak perlu disedih-sedihkan perkara yang sememangnya kita tahu menyedihkan. Takut lambat laun orang akan muak dan kurang cakna.


Sesungguhnya, ini adalah satu cabaran besar untuk aku!


Lirik Freedom - Maher Zain

Gathered here with my family
...My neighbours and my friends
Standing firm together against oppression holding hands
It doesn't matter where you're from
Or if you're young, old, WOMAN or man
We're here for the same reason; we want to take back our land

Oh God, thank you
For giving us the strength to hold on
And now we're here together

Calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh NO
We're calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall, oh NO
We know you're here with us

No more being prisoners in our homes
No more being afraid to talk
Our dream is just to be free, just to be free
Now when we've TAKEN our first step
Towards a life of complete freedom
We can see our dream getting closer and closer, we're almost there

Oh God, thank you
For giving us the strength to hold on
And now we're here together

Calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh NO
We're calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall, oh NO
We know you're here with us

I can feel the pride in the air
And it makes me strong to see everyone
Standing together holding hands in unity
Shouting out LOUDLY demanding their right for freedom
This is it and we're not backing OUT
Oh God we know you hear our call

And we're calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call ooh NO
We're calling for freedom, calling for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall oh NO
We know you're here with us
