INDONESIA NATIONAL ANTHEM LYRICS

The three stanzas of Indonesian National Anthem is hard core of what Indonesia as a nation all about. As a country Indonesian government should reconsider to use all the lyrics to remind the whole country what is Indonesia all about.

In my perspective, there is nothing wrong with the other two stanzas. Contemplate on the original lyrics below:

"Indonesian National Anthem"

Indonesia Raya

Indonesia Raja Merdeka Merdeka Hidoeplah Indonesia Raja "

Think about it. The words on those lyric above are so powerful that may impact or influence the mentality of this country. Are we scared to realized who we really are?

Are we reluctant to realized our true self?

Are we ignorant to realized that we are one great nation?

Do we have the willingness to resurrect the true power Indonesia as a country on the eyes of the world?

Isn't that enough to learn the lessons from the past/ history?

Or we still want that the "History repeated it self"?

Do we want the 'True Reformations"?

Do we care for our very own nation ?

Do we want the complete "package" what Indonesia all about?

This is the vision of our forefathers!

Do we want to confess and admit this 'words of faith' through the songs?

Is it illegal to sing the true song? The song of FREEDOM! The song of REDEMPTIONS!

Mr. President of Indonesia, SBY please reconsider to use this lyrics for the revival of this country. May God have mercy upon us, sinners.

I beg you as the citizen of beloved Indonesia.

Best Regards,

Uncle Bob
