We are the world
Orang banyak. Asosiasiku dengan kata itu adalah massa pemilu, yang lebih baik aku hindari. Atau orang banyak di saat tawuran, atau massa demonstrasi anarkis yang merusak segala yang mereka dapat rusaki.
Ya, orang banyak tak punya nama. Berbahaya dan seharusnya dihindari. Namun orang banyak dalam injil hari ini, tak dihindari. Yesus melihat mereka menyerbu-Nya. Tetapi ia tahu, mereka sakit, berbeban berat, kecewa dengan hidup, mengunyah kegetiran hidup. Dan bagi Dia: mereka bagaikan domba tak bergembala. Perasaan empati ini melahirkan cinta kasih. Dan Markus mencatat, Ia berbicara lama dengan mereka.
Memandang, melihat, dan merasakan empati. Hanya dengan demikian kita bisa membangun budaya hidup di dunia ini. Kalau tidak wajah kita semua hanyalah wajah menakutkan massa. Siapa memandang, melihat, dan merasakan, dia bisa mengetahui bahwa "kita adalah saudara". We are the world, tulis Michael Jackson dalam lagunya. Dan hanya kalau kita sadar kita adalah dunia, kita bisa menyembuhkan, membangun solidaritas. Hatiku tak mampu menahan melantunkan lagu Michael Jackson: We Are the World.
There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretneding day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
