down to earth
Did you think that your feet had been bound
By what gravity brings to the ground?
Did you feel you were tricked
By the future you picked?
Well come on down
All these rules don't apply
When you're high in the sky
So come on down
Come on down
We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below
We're coming down to the ground
To hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
(Come) send the seeds out in (the deep?)
Did you think you'd escaped from routine
By changing the script and the scene?
Despite all you made of it
you're always afraid of the change
You've got a lot on your chest
Well you can come as my guest
So come on down
Come on down
We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below
We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
(Come?) send the seeds out in (the deep?)
Like the fish in the ocean
We felt at home in the sea
We learned to live off the good land
We learned to climb up a tree
then we got up on two legs
But we wanted to fly
When we messed up our homeland
and set sail for the sky
We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We got rivers down below
We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
send the seeds out in th
We're coming down
Comin' down to earth
Like babies at birth
Comin' down to earth
Redefine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities
We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below
We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
(Come) send the seeds out in (The deep?)
We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below
We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
(Come) send the seeds out in (the deep?)

Merindukanmu
Sekapur Sirih di hari kedua Berkabung Wafatnya Ayahanda
Ayah seorang muhammadiyah. Dalam wasiatnya sebelum dia meninggal dunia, tidak menginginkan ada acara tahlilan, talqin dan azan di kuburan, bangunan yang indah di kuburannya, acara peringatan tujuh hari, empat puluh hari, seratus hari, kegiatan memecahkan genteng tanah liat, kegiatan budaya berputar di bawah keranda jenazah, juga acara membagi-bagikan buku yasin yang indah kepada para penyelayat atau acara mubazir lain. Meski demikian, kami sekeluarga tetap membuka rumah selama tiga hari berturut-turut untuk para penyelayat yang akan datang menghibur sambil membaca surat Yassin beramai-ramai. DI hati pertama, setelah acara Yassinan selesai, ada penceramah yang datang. Sayangnya, penceramah ini berasal dari NU, sehingga ada beberapa perbedaan antara yang diyakini oleh penceramah tersebut dengan yang diyakini oleh ayah almarhum. Menurut dia kegiatan yang dilarang oleh ayah melakukannya, justru merupakan sebuah kegiatan yang bernilai sunnah dalam Islam. … Well, mungkin tidak usah diperpanjang masalah wilayah abu-abu ini. Karena itu, di hari kedua, ade berinisiatif untuk mengisi acara. BUkan ceramah, tapi lebih seperti pemberian sepatah dua patah kata bagi para penyelayat yang datang kerumah kami. Berikut isi materi yang ade berikan :
Pada Kecupan Terakhir
'ayah, ini ade datang'
Kugenggam tangannya yg terasa dingin
Dengan sisa energi yg ada ayah berusaha meremas jemariku.
Aliran hangat terasa menjalari jemariku lamban.
Aku tahu itulah usaha ayah untuk menyatakan bahwa dia sayang aku.
