RAY CHARLES

Seorang anak kecil buta terjatuh. Ia menangis meraung-raung,
memanggil sang ibu. Biasanya seorang ibu tentu akan bergegas
menghampiri anaknya, tetapi ibu si anak justru berdiam diri. Dari
sudut ruangan, ia menyaksikan anaknya menangis dalam frustrasi.
Namun anak itu perlahan bangkit, mengibaskan debu dari bajunya, lalu
meraba jalannya sendiri menuju sang ibu. Dengan penuh air mata, sang
ibu memeluk erat anaknya. Itulah sepenggal cerita masa kecil Ray
Charles, legenda musik soul Amerika. Apa komentar Anda mengenai si
ibu? Kejam? Tidak punya hati? Di adegan berikutnya, sang ibu
menjelaskan tindakannya kepada Ray kecil: "Aku ingin kamu tahu …
kamu itu buta, tetapi tidak bodoh."

there's light at the end of the tunnel.

I won't pretend to know what you're thinking
I can't begin to know what you're going through
I won't deny the pain that you're feeling
But I'm gonna try and give a little hope to you

Just remember what I've told you
There's so much you're living for

[Chorus]
There's a light at the end of this tunnel
There's a light at the end of this tunnel
For you, for you
There's a light at the end of this tunnel
Shinin' bright at the end of this tunnel
For you, for you

So keep holdin' on

You've got your disappointments and sorrows
You ought to share the weight of that load with me
Then you will find that the light of tomorrow
It brings a new life for your eyes to see

So remember what I've told you
There's so much you're living for
[Chorus]
So keep holdin' on
Keep holding on

[Musical Break]

So remember what I've told you
There's so much you're living for
[Chorus] x2
There's a light at the end of this tunnel
For you, for you
Shinin' bright at the end of this tunnel
For you, for you
So keep holdin' on
Keep holding on
Keep holding on, now.

You've got your disappointments and sorrows
But I'm gonna try and give a little hope to you
