Skyline

Salam and peace to all..

I think I think a little too much

In my room where I can’t sleep

I want to just run away from this night

My sighs fall onto the window

I want to fly far away

Away from the moonlight

What should I do?

I want to fly well, I want to fly well

I just don’t know how to fly...

I want to fly well, I want to fly well

I wish someone would teach me

Surely everything’s unfamiliar

Even the TV is full of lies

I keep running for shelter from the rain

I can’t go on like this

I don’t care if I get drenched

I want to fly well I want to fly well

In order to learn to fly...

I want to fly well I want to fly well

You have to get out into the sky, to skyline

I can’t wait for my chance

How many of the same old mornings

Have I counted so far, picturing the skyline

I don’t know how to fly

I don’t even know if I can fly

I want to fly well I want to fly well

But I’ll go

I want to fly well I want to fly well

In order to learn to fly...

I want to fly well I want to fly well

You have to get out into the sky, to skyline

I found this great song while watching Taiyou No Uta movie (aka Song of the Sun)

This movie is about a girl who suffers XP (xeroderma pigmentosum), an incurable disease that might cause death if expose to the sun

I reflect to myself, how grateful I am, even though I sometimes complaints how sun might burn/darken my skin, I still can enjoy the sunshine for the sake of vitamin D for my body

I can be active during the day, while still enjoying the night

But this girl doesn't

She can't go to school, even going out to play during the day

She slept when sunrise and woke up at sunset

Living a way different life from me

You know, what is the best motivation?

For me is the one given by someone who is in pain but still could give the sweetest smile ever

How could we compare our pain to someone who faced the greatest challenges

But still could give comfort to others?

There's none other than our Prophet Muhammad SAW

He suffered a lot since before his born,

His father died while he was 8 months in his mother womb

Then his mother died

Followed by his grandfather, then his wife Khadijah while he was carrying his duty as a messenger

He bore any attacks, criticism against him

Just for the sake of "Say, He is Allah, the one" [121:1]

He brings rahmat to every mankind, even till now and forever

What a beautiful inspiration, isn't it?

What do I suffer? Nothing much

I guess being aware of others suffering could open our eyes, and make us being grateful for what we have

At the same time teach us to be strong

Just like the lyrics, I really want to fly well

Towards the sky, and I need to learn how to fly, in a right way

I know, I have a lot to learn, long way to go to touch the sky

It takes time, isn't it?

But I wonder, what the sky might offer me

My destiny, still unknown

Still, I can design it to get a good result, herein and hereafter

Allah knows best..
