Hari ini ketika aku membuka youtube dan mencari video yang menarik, aku menemukan video konser maher zain yang beberapa hari lalu dilangsungkan di malaysia. Gak tanggung-tanggung ternyata video itu adalah official music video dari lagu freedom.
“Wah, lagu baru Maher Zain” aku bersorak senang.
Seperti biasa, aku harus menunggu sabar agar buffering videonya selesai. Setelah bufferingnya sempurna, aku putar video itu.
Wow, asyik juga lagunya. sekali dengar aku langsung bisa mengikuti lagunya. Easy listening banget lah. Namun sayang, sekuat apapun tenagaku, aku tetap saja tidak bisa meraih nada-nada tinggi pada lagu itu. Pita suaraku benar-benar terasa ditarik-tarik ketika aku mencoba mengambil nada dasar yang sama dengan om Maher Zain.
Ah, kapan ya Maher Zain atau Sami Yusuf bisa menggelar konser di Indonesia. Pengen banget soalnya.
Sudah sudah ah, ceritanya… lebih baik kita putar lagunya dan mainkan.

Liriknya :
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, women 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
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall oh
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 taking 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
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall oh
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 load demanding their right for freedom
This is it and we’re not backing of
Oh God we know you hear our call
And we’re calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call ooh
We’re calling for freedom, calling for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall oh
We know you’re here with us
