Lirik :

Waking up I see that everything is okay
The first time in my life and now it's so great
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great

I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

I found a place so safe, not a single tear
The first time in my life and now it's so clear
Feel calm I belong, I'm so happy here
It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere

I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful, it makes you wanna cry

It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful, it makes you wanna cry
It's so beautiful, it makes you want to cry

This innocence is brilliant, it makes you want to cry
This innocence is brilliant, please don't go away
'Cause I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

This innocence is brilliant, it's so beautiful, it's so beautiful
This moment is perfect, please don't go away
I need you now, it makes me want to cry
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

Lirik Pilihan ...

INNOCENT
performed by : Taylor Swift

I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your warpath
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind tryin' to get it back

Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?
And everybody believed in you?

It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent

There's some things you can't speak of
But tonight you'll live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you would sing what you know now then

Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catchin' days?
And everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you
Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep?
Before the monsters caught up to you?

It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent

It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent

Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too

Lives change like the weather
I hope you remember
Today is never to late to
Be brand new

It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights are still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent

It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent

SPEAK NOW
performed by : Taylor Swift

Meski ringan 'Speak Now' seperti menjadi sebuah transisi bagi Taylor Swift , dari 'fairytale singer' menjadi 'half-adult singer' . Beberapa kutipan liriknya yang catchy menunjukkan kelugasan dalam berbahasa, menjadikan lagu ini sedikit berbeda dari karya Swift yang terdahulu. Dengan aransemennya yang bagus dan sangat mendukung feel musiknya yang terkesan segar, bukan tidak mungkin 'Speak Now' menjadi salah satu karya Taylor Swift terbaik yang pernah ada ...

Lirik :

I am not the kind of girl,
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil
occasion,
But you are not the kind of boy,
Who should be marryin' the wrong girl,

I sneak in and see your friends,
And her snotty little family, all dressed in pastel,
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid,
Somewhere back inside a room,
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry,
This is surely not what you thought it would be,
I loose myself in a daydream,
Where I stand and say:

"Don't say yes, run away now,
I'll meet you when you're out,
Of the church at the back door,
Don't wait or say a single vow,
You need to hear me out,"
And they said, "Speak now,"

Fun gestures are exchanged,
And the organ starts to play
A song that sounds like a death march,
And I am hiding in the curtains,
It seems I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be,
She floats down the isle like a pageant queen,
But I know you wish it was me,
You wish it was me, don't you?

Don't say yes, run away now,
I'll meet you when you're out,
Of the church at the back door,
Don't wait or say a single vow,
You need to hear me out,
And they said, "Speak now,"

Don't say yes, run away now,
I'll meet you when you're out,
Of the church at the back door,
Don't wait or say a single vow,
Your time is running out,
And they said, "Speak now,"

I hear the preacher say,
"Speak now or forever hold your peace,"
There's a silence, there's my last chance,
I stand up with shaking hands,
All eyes on me,
Horrified looks from everyone in the room,
But I'm only lookin' at you,

I am not the kind of girl,
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil
occasion,
But you are not the kind of boy,
Who should be marryin' the wrong girl,

Don't say yes, run away now,
I'll meet you when you're out,
Of the church at the back door,
Don't wait or say a single vow,
You need to hear me out,
And they said, "Speak now,"

And you say,
"Let's run away now,
I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door,
Baby, I didn't say my vows,
So glad you were around when they said, "Speak no

Sebuah Momen ...

Written by : Aprial Chang

Truk yang kutumpangi terus melaju ...
Membawaku jauh menuju kebahagiaan yang kucari ...
Jauh dari air mata duka ...
Dan jauh dari sulutan api amarah ...

Di momen ini ...
Angin berhembus kencang ...
Hingga tak ada hal lain di pikiran selain kebebasan ...

Di momen ini ...
Langit membentang cerah ...
Hingga tak ada hal lain di pikiran selain keceriaan ...

Dan di momen ini ...
Aku dan teman - teman menciptakan sebuah lingkaran persahabatan ...
Yang akan terus berputar ...
Dan selalu di kuatkan oleh canda dan tawa ...
Serta keinginan untuk terus bersatu ...

Oh, tak ada lagu manapun yang dapat mendeskripsikan rasa yang kurasa ini ...
Tentang kebersamaan yang indah ini ...
Tentang pepohonan yang melambai jauh itu ...
Dan tentang hijaunya lam yang kupandangi dengan beribu rasa syukur ...

Hati pun ikut bicara ...
Bahwa tiada hari yang lebih indah dari hari ini ...
Tiada waktu yang lebih berharga dari hari ini ...
Dan tiada momen yang lebih berwarna dibanding hari ini ...

Petir........

Written by : Aprial Chang

Mnedungnya langit seakan menjadi refleksi hati ku ...
Yang tengah berduka akan kemunafikan manusia ...
Dinginnya udara seakan menjadi cerminan batin ...
Yang telah membeku akan semua kata maaf yang ditolak ...
Dan nyaringnya sambaran petir seakan menjadi puncak kekecewaan hati ...
Yang telah disakiti dan dihina oleh jutaan kata kasar ...

Wahai Langit sambarkan petir lebih keras lagi ...
Wahai Langit sambarkan petir lebih banyak lagi ...
Agar mereka tahu bahwa ada hati yang tersakii disini ...
Agar mereka tahu ada jiwa yang tengah marah disini ...
Dan agar mereka tahu bahwa tak hanya mereka yang dapat berteriak , menyumpah , dan menyakiti disini ...

Lebih keras ...
Lebih nyaring lagi ...
Tunjukkan kemurkaanmu Wahai Langit ...

Lebih keras ...
Lebih nyaring lagi ...
Hantam dan dentumkan kengerianmu di seluruh ruang Wahai Langit ...

Lebih keras ...
Lebih nyaring lagi ...
Buat mereka menjadi saksi kekuatanmu Wahai Langit ...

Lebih keras ...
Lebih nyaring lagi ...
Sambarkan keindahan dan kekuatanmu yang memecahkan kesunyian batin ...

Lebih keras ...
Lebih nyaring lagi ...
Sambarakan nyanyian dan teriakan dari tiap hati yang telah remuk ...
Dari tiap jiwa yang hancur ...
Dan dari tiap jiwa yang membara oleh sulutan api amarah ...

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

Yeah

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Try so hard to say goodbye

Baby I didn’t say my vows, so glad you were around
When they said ‘Speak now’

Lirik :

She grew up on a side of the road
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
She grew up good
She grew up slow
Like American honey

Steady as a preacher
Free as a weed
Couldn't wait to get goin'
But wasn't quite ready to leave
So innocent, pure and sweet
American honey

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summer time
And American honey

Get caught in the race
Of this crazy life
Trying to be everything can make you lose your mind
I just wanna go back in time
To American honey, yea

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summer time
And American honey

Gone for so long now
I gotta get back to her somehow
To American honey

Ooh There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothin's sweeter than summer time
And American honey
And American honey

Kuda Liar . . .

Written by : Aprial Chang

Hidup terkekang adalah rintangan yang harus kuhadapi . . .
Dan dengan kearifan jiwa kucoba untuk tenangkan batin . . .
Agar ia tidak mengamuk seperti macan dalam kerangkeng . . .
Dan dalam kurungan ini kucoba gulirkan khayal . . .
Dan kucoba pula hanyutkan inspirasi . . .
Agar hidupku ini lebih berarti dan berwarna . . .

Akan tetapi apabila khayalku melayang terlalu jauh . . .
Menuju rimba barat yang liar disana . . .
Terdapat ketukan batin yang kuat menggetarkan jiwaku . . .

Keras . . .
Kuat . . .
Aku tak dapat menahannya . . .

Hasrat akan kebebasan mengalir deras keseluruh urat nadiku . . .
Dan jantungku pun berdetak secepat laju angin . . .

Cepat . . .
Deras . . .
Aku tak dapat menbendungnya . . .

Semakin kuat ku menahan . . .
Semakin kuat pula hasrat melawan . . .
Lalu disaat kusemakin lemah tuk menahan . . .
Nyanyian batin itu datang dan mengalun keras : . . .

" Aku ingin berlari tanpa takut untuk dikejar " . . .
" Aku ingin bermimpi tanpa takut untuk terbangun " . . .
" Aku ingin bebas tanpa takut untuk di kekang " . . .
" Aku ingin hidup tanpa takut untuk menangis " . . .
" Aku ingin hidup sebebas kuda liar " . . .
" Bertahan hidup sambil menjadi simbol kearifan alam " . . .
" Aku ingin hidup setenang kuda liar " . . .
" Berdiri kokoh sambil mendengarkan angin berbisik akan keagungan langit " . . .
" Aku ingin hidup seindah kuda liar " . . .
" Melihat dunia dari atas bukit yang kokoh " . . .
" Menatap pada kealamian rimba barat yang menawan " . . .
" Merasakan dinginnya percikan air terjun kesejukan " . . .
" Menjalani hidup tanpa takut untuk terikat oleh mata rantai tirani " . . .

Aku ingin hidup sekokoh kuda liar. . .
Tanpa ada komentar pada kebobrokan ego manusia . . .
Hanya berlari mengejar angin diluasnya padang rumput ketenangan . . .

Bebas . . .
Kuat . . .
Tenang . . .

Lirik :

Hmmm woah yea...

I feel these four walls closing in
My face up against the glass
I'm looking out... hmm
Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
Its greener pastures I'm thinking about hmm
Wide open spaces far away

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared

Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
Run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Oh yeah yea

I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare back, care free along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head first headlong without a thought
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break free

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared
Hoohhh woah woah

Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Oh yeah yea

I wanna run too.
Hohhh woah oh woah oh

Breaklessly abandoning my self before you

I wanna open up my heart tell him how I feel


Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Hooaah woah oh woah
Yeah

I wanna run with the wild horses
