Breathe
Monita Tahalea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Berdiri
Lalui setiap hari
Sadari hidupku
Hanyalah hembusan nafas
Awan gemawan melayang dan hilang
Berlari tak henti
Selalu percaya meski tak melihat
Lembut bisikan kasih-Mu selalu ku dengar
Sampai teduh gelombang sanubari
Tenanglah jiwaku
Sekalipun ku berjalan dalam lembah kekelaman
Aku tak kan goyah sebab Engkau bersamaku
Menuntun ku selalu
Menghibur ku selalu
Terbang melintasi setiap musim dalam hidupku
Tenanglah jiwaku
Menanti janji-Mu
Yang setia selalu
Fajar-Mu merekah
Segarkan jiwaku
Tenanglah sepanjang masa

Dear, Monita.. Sekadar berbagi cerita. Pertama denger lagu-lagu di album Dandelion, lagu Breathe ini berhasil bikin nangis. Liriknya istimewa, melodinya juga. Paling bikin menyentuh. Saya yakin kamu punya cerita luar biasa di balik penulisan lagu ini.
Semoga sukses dengan pembuatan album selanjutnya.
