Ada lagu yang lagi stick in my head. Sebenarnya sih udah lama lagunya, tapi pas belajar buat UAS IFxx9x, gue lumayan sering memutar lagunya Carrie Underwood, yang Jesus, Take the Wheel. Lagu ini berasal dari album Carrie yang terbaru, yaitu Some Hearts. I think ini bukan lagu religious, karena dari liriknya, dia ingin bertobat karena ga pernah mengandalkan Jesus dalam hidupnya. (Hmm, i think it’s not a religious song, but karena judulnya yang ‘Jesus,Take the Wheel’, sudah diasumsikan sebagai lagu religi… Okay deh!
)
Ini dia nih, liriknya:
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It’d been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn’t pay attention
she was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn’t even have time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can’t do this on my own
I’m letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I’m on
Jesus take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I’m sorry for the way
I’ve been living my life
I know I’ve got to change
So from now on tonight
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can’t do this on my own
I’m letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I’m on
Oh, Jesus take the wheel
Oh, I’m letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I’m on
From this road I’m on
Jesus take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, oh
Lagunya soo touching, sebenarnya. Karena gue jg pernah mengalami fase yang lagi jauh dari Tuhan, dan itu bener-bener sakit deh. Ketika ada masalah, gue tidak mengandalkan Dia dan did it all by myself. Hasilnya? Gagal total.
Intinya, lagunya nampol! Dengerin aja malem2, lagi sendiri, dihayatin, direnungin, dipikirin, dinyanyiin, dihapalin (emang bahan kuliah?) dan niscaya, wahai manusia, engkau akan nangis BOMBAY!
(berlebihan banget si..)
Karena kalo dengerin lagu, yang pertama kali gue simak adalah lyrics, maka untuk lirik lagu ini, gue kasi 8.5! Kalo untuk jenis lagu, seperti lagu yang dinyanyiin oleh the American Idol winner, standar aja.
