YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE (Unofficial Anthem of the Reds) When you walk through a storm, Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark, At the end of a storm,
There's a golden sky, And the sweet silver song a lark,
Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown...,
Walk on, Walk on, With hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone, You'll never walk alone...
NILAI KEHIDUPAN (Dr. HE Kirschmer)
Kita korbankan kesehatan untuk mendapatkan kekayaan,
Kita berencana, bekerja dan menumpuk simpanan,
Kemudian kita korbankan kekayaan untuk memperoleh kembali kesehatan,
Dan yang sering kita dapatkan ternyata hanyalah kuburan,
Kita hidup dan bangga atas harta simpanan,
Kita mati hanya mendapatkan nisan.

MAKNA SEBUAH TITIPAN (WS Rendra)
Sering kali aku berkata, ketika orang memuji milikku,
bahwa:
sesungguhnya ini hanya titipan,
bahwa mobilku hanya titipan Allah
bahwa rumahku hanya titipan Nya,
bahwa hartaku hanya titipan Nya,
bahwa putraku hanya titipan Nya,
tetapi, mengapa aku tak pernah bertanya,
mengapa Dia menitipkan padaku?
Untuk apa Dia menitipkan ini pada ku?
Dan kalau bukan milikku,
apa yang harus kulakukan untuk milik Nya ini?
Adakah aku memiliki hak atas sesuatu yang bukan
milikku?
Mengapa hatiku justru terasa berat, ketika titipan itu
diminta kembali oleh-Nya?
Ketika diminta kembali,
kusebut itu sebagai musibah
kusebut itu sebagai ujian,
kusebut itu sebagai petaka,
kusebut dengan panggilan apa saja untuk melukiskan
bahwa itu adalah derita.
Ketika aku berdoa,
kuminta titipan yang cocok dengan hawa nafsuku,
aku ingin lebih banyak harta,
ingin lebih banyak mobil,
lebih banyak popularitas,
dan kutolak sakit,
kutolak kemiskinan,
seolah semua "derita" adalah hukuman bagiku.
Seolah keadilan dan kasih Nya harus berjalan seperti
matematika:
aku rajin beribadah,
maka selayaknyalah derita menjauh dariku,
dan nikmat dunia kerap menghampiriku.
Kuperlakukan Dia seolah mitra dagang,
dan bukan kekasih.
Kuminta Dia membalas "perlakuan baikku",
dan menolak keputusanNya yang tak sesuai keinginanku,
Gusti, padahal tiap hari kuucapkan,
hidup dan matiku hanyalah untuk beribadah...
"ketika langit dan bumi bersatu, bencana dan
keberuntungan sama saja"
