Underneath - ALANIS MORISSETTE

Look at us break our bonds in this kitchen
Look at us rallying all our defenses
Look at us waging war in our bedroom
Look at us jumping ship in our dialogues

There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath

Look at us our form our cliques in our sandbox
Look at us micro kids with both our hearts blocked
Look at us turn away from all the rough spots
Look at dictatorship on my own block

There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath

How I've spun my wheels with carts before my horse
When shine on the outside springs from the root
Spotlight on these seeds of simpler reasons
This core, born into form, starts in our living room

There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath

Citizen Of The Planet - ALANIS MORISSETTE

Citizen Of The Planet - ALANIS MORISSETTE

I start up in the north I grow from special seed
I sprinkle it with sensibility
from French and Hungarian snow
I linger in the sprouting until my engine's full

Then I move across the sea
To European bliss
To language of poets
As I cut the cord of home
I kiss my mother's mother
look to the horizon

wide eyed, new ground
humbled by my new surroundings

I am a citizen of the planet
My president is kwan yin
My frontier is on an airplane
my prisons: homes for rehabilitating

Then I fly back to my nest, I fly back with my nuclear but everything is different
So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened, patriotism expanded by callings from beyond
So I pack my things nothing precious all things sacred

I am a citizen of the planet
My laws are all of attraction
My punishments are consequences
Separating from source the original sin

I am a citizen of the planet
democracy's kids are sovereign
Where the teachers are the sages
And pedestals fill with every parent

And so, the next few years are blurry, the next decade's a flurry of smells and tastes unknown
Threads sewn straight through this fabric through fields of every color one culture to another

I come alive and I get giddy I am taken and globally naturalized
I am a citizen of the planet
From simple roots through high vision
I am guarded by the angels
My body guides the direction I go in

I am a citizen of the planet
My favorite pastime edge stretching
Besotten with human condition
these ideals are borne from my deepest within

Berita Dari Rantau - Alleycats

Angin pantai
Dingin mencengkam
Ombak laut
Mengajak pulang

Di sini ku rindu
Kampung halaman
Yang lama kutinggalkan

Betapa indahnya negeri orang
Tak seindah tanah tumpah darahku
Wajah sanak saudara yang tercinta
Bermain di mataku di kala sepi

Sawah ladang dan pohon nyior
dDengarkanlah jeritan hati
Kuingin nyatakan...
Aku sering merindu belaianmu
Aku sering merindui kasihmu

Dapatkah ? - Alleycats

Dapatkah ? - Alleycats

Malam bulan purnama
Di tepi pantai indah
Kududuk mengenangkan
Cinta ku yang tak sampai
Putus di tengah jalan
Sedih nian rasanya

Namun apa daya kau begini jadinya
Hidup ku merana kasih terputus sudah
Padamu oh tuhan ingin aku bertanya
Dapatkah kembali dia sang kekasih

( ulang 2 & 1 )

Derita Seorang Insan - Alleycats

Derita Seorang Insan - Alleycats

Sekian lama deritanya
Dia bawa bersama-sama hidup ini
Mengharung masa-masa yang pahit
Namun hatinya tak pernah kecewa

Berjuta-juta peristiwa
Yang tak mungkin lagi dapat dipisahkannya
Begitu kasihnya dibelai dan dimanja
Namun akhirnya kecewa melanda

Kini semuanya sudah berlalu sepi
Dia menangis mengenang kembali
Segala beban ditempuh tiada erti
Bagaikan debu dibawa angin

Dia berjalan penuh hampa
Namun dia terima segala-galanya
Menadahkan tangan kepada Yang Esa
Bersyukur diatas pemberianNya
