Menurut Opah, sepanjang pengalaman membesarkan 8 org anak + berbelas cucu, ni first time tengok budak yang paling kuat bunyi nangis... itu lah Nawfal
Menurut Tok Mama, sepanjang dia membesarkan 4 orang anaknya, ni lah first time dia tengok budak yang so involve dan tak berenti bercakap... itulah Ammaar.
Da, abg. nampak budak budak ni nnt membesar jadi somebody yang very distinct.
Kesesakan di Malaysia telah mencapai tahap maksima. Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan sudah tidak mampu menanggung jumlah kerata yang semakin meningkat mendadak. Penyelesaiannya, PLUS sedang menaik taraf lebuhraya dari dua lorong ke tiga lorong.
Kesannya, isteri dan anak2x ku masih tersangkut kat rumah opah di tanjung malim. Besok nak kerja. Kesian Da. Tak boleh nak balik awal. Kalau balik jugak, jawabnya perjalanan yang sepatut hanya mengambil masal 1.30jam akan boleh menjadi seharian. Mungkin kalau balik awal subuh besok, trafik tak sesesak semalam. Sabar ye sayang.
First, this song is unique in a way that it's supposed to be sung by a father and his son. Second,
the lyric is so real and straight to the point.
Yusuf Islam by himself version:
Original version:
The lyric:
Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
(son-- away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )
I've known this famous guy from his sweet 'A for Allah' song. I also knew that he was a great musician during 70's but really unaware about the type of songs he delivered.
I personally think that he should be an examplary to the music industry as entertainment is concern. Enjoy some of his pieces here. May Allah rewards his good intention.

The lyric:
Now I've been happy lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun
Oh I've been smiling lately,
dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be,
some day it's going to come
Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again
Now I've been smiling lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun
Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train
Get your bags together,
go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer,
it soon will be with you
Now come and join the living,
it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer,
soon it will all be true
Now I've been crying lately,
thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating,
why can't we live in bliss
Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again
