TANAH NEGERI TUA

Cerita lama 
           tentang ukiran hati nurani nan berani
                     di tanah negeri
                          semangat itu
                            perjuangan  itu
                            pengorban itu
                         Itu.. itu… itu…!
                      luka diciptakan
                   demi tanah tercinta

                                                  Demi ukiran merdeka
                                         kalian juangkan 
                                   mimpi sejati 
                             damaikan
                       cerita lama 
aku menjerit!!
aku menangis!!
ngeri, ngilu,
hati
       luapan rasa asa
                                karena kalian
                                                     merdeka
                                                                            karena kalian
                                                                                                    reformasi
                                                                                                                            karena kalian
                                                                                                                                         cipta demokrasi
                                                                                                                        karena kalian
