[Verse 1]
Dasar jurang di bawah kita
Membuka mulut lebar-lebar
Seperti menunggu kedatangan kita
Telah mendaki sampai di sini
Saat kita hendak meraih
Tebing harapan yang ada di atas

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Watch it! Batu jatuh
My God! Menghindarlah
Berteriak sampai suara mengering
Hanya mimpi buruk!

[Chorus 1]
Terus genggam talinya
Kau tidak akan ditinggal
Walaupun kapak es yang menarik nyawamu
Teramat berat
Terus genggam talinya
Lupakanlah rasa takut
Kami pasti 'kan mengangkatmu
Karena kita semuanya team

[Verse 2]
Semuanya terdiam
Angin di sekitar menangis
Jaring laba-labakah yang menggoyang?
Kehampaan hanyalah akan
Berlalu tanpa perasaan
Hanya pilihan itu yang tersisa

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Do it! Tentukan
Don’t mind! Batas akhir
Melihat hidupku ini kembali
Ku tidak menyesal

[Chorus 2]
Oh tali persahabatan
Tetaplah terus terikat
Bersama ayo kita pergi ke surga
Sampai mana pun
Oh tali persahabatan
Yang akan jatuh bersama
Tutup tirainya dengan pisau
Karena kita semuanya team

[Interlude]

[Chorus 1]
Terus genggam talinya
Kau tidak akan ditinggal
Walaupun kapak es yang menarik nyawamu
Teramat berat
Terus genggam talinya
Lupakanlah rasa takut
Kami pasti 'kan mengangkatmu
Karena kita semuanya team

JKT48 is an Indonesian idol group whose name is derived from its based city of Jakarta and the Japanese idol group AKB48. Formed in 2011, it is the first AKB48 sister group outside Japan and adopts the concept of “idols you can meet”. Fans can attend daily performances at the group’s theater, which was built as a close replica to the AKB48 Theater in Akihabara.

Producer Yasushi Akimoto decided to bring the AKB48 concept to Indonesia because the group had begun to develop a fan base in the country. Indonesia’s growing economy was seen as a potential market by many Japanese companies, and Akimoto established a franchising partnership with Dentsu Media Group Indonesia to replicate the AKB48 business model. Dentsu Media Group Indonesia then cooperate with the country’s largest media conglomerate Global Mediacom (MNC Media), the southeast Asia’s largest and most integrated media group as JKT48 official media partner.

While JKT48 does not restrict membership by nationality, applicants must be residents of Indonesia. The group has 72 (as of June 2014) members and released its first studio album Heavy Rotation on 16 February 2013 via Hits Records, a division of MNC subsidiary PT Star Media Nusantara. It performs songs by AKB48 and other sister groups that are translated into Indonesian.
