9/11...Dimanakah kamu ketika itu?

Semalam, 11 September, 2011 genap 10 tahun sudah dunia ini "berhenti berputar" apabila kita dikejutkan dengan serangan nekad kapal terbang ke atas Pusat Dagangan Dunia di Amerika Syarikat. Dianggarkan lebih kurang 3 ribu orang kehilangan insan yang tersayang.

Peristiwa ini telah mengejutkan seluruh dunia bukan sahaja pemimpin-pemimpin utama dunia malah seluruh manusia yang hidup dan waras dimuka bumi ketika itu.

Dimanakah kamu ketika itu?

Ya, dimanakah kamu ketika peristiwa ini berlaku? Di tempat kerja? Di rumah? Di kampus?

Seingat sesamamu, pada masa peristiwa ini berlaku, sesamamu masih mengajar disebuah sekolah dan melihat apa yang terjadi ketika itu, sesamamu ingat ini adalah satu lakona semata-mata. Tetapi ternyata, ia bukan lakonan, tetapi satu kenyataan dimana telah mengubah dunia.

Seperti di dalam lagu Alan Jackson di bawah, ia merupakan titik dimana "Dunia berhenti berputar" buat seketika.

Marilah kita menjawab segala pertanyaan di dalam lagu ini..." Where were when the world stop turning".

Lirik seperti di bawah...
Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Out in the yard with your wife and children
Working on some stage in LA
Did you stand there in shock at the site of
That black smoke rising against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger
In fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry

Did you weep for the children
Who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below

Did you burst out in pride
For the red white and blue
The heroes who died just doing what they do
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself to what really matters

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Teaching a class full of innocent children
Driving down some cold interstate
Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her
[ From : http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/alan-jackson-lyrics/where-were-you-(When-the-world-stopped-turning)-lyrics.html ]
Did you dust off that bible at home
Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
Speak with some stranger on the street
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some stranger
Stand in line and give your own blood
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love

The greatest is love
The greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day


Ingat bukan untuk membenci...

Mari kita sama-sama mengingati hari ini. Bukan untuk membuat kita membenci kepada sipelaku tragedi ini, tetapi mengingati betapa kehidupan ini seharusnya diwarnai dengan KASIH. Bermelodikan CINTA...seperti yang terdapat didalam lirik lagu ini...Yang terbesar adalah KASIH...
