Tautan waktu berjalan...
Seiring langkah kita bersama
Mendewasakan semua rasa
Perasaan jiwa

Tak akan mungkin memungkiri
Menyangkal arti cinta
Biar angin menentang
Pun langit terhempas

Menyangsikan cinta
Dalam keras kehidupan
Naif terlahir
Kewajaran terkodrati
Lelapkan semua..!

Reff
Demi cinta.. Bersandinglah
(Dalam sisi hidupku ini)
Demi cinta.. Berjanjilah
(Melangkah kita bersama)

Perlahan kita mulai belajar
Melaraskan batin
Meluaskan ruang
Tingkap pengertian
Tak pernah ku merasakan
Penat menjadi beban
Biar peluh mengalir
Pun mesti terluka
Damai... Kita bersama
Sucikan cinta

Formed at Airlangga University in Indonesia, Padi (then known as Soda) performed their first show in 1996. The name change occurred a year later – it was meant to symbolize the band’s humility, as the word means rice, which is a symbol of modesty – and by 1999, the band had a deal and an album in stores. The deal, which was signed after a rep from Sony caught a performance at a pub, led to a successful appearance on a various-artists compilation.

The debut, Lain Dunia, was followed by Sesuatu Yang Tertunda in 2001. Selling nearly 500,000 copies, the band solidified its standing with the mega-hit single “Kasih Tak Sampai.” Their next album, Save My Soul, would be even bigger, hitting the half-a-million sales mark its first week after release. Padi released their fourth, self-titled, album in 2005.

There have also been a handful of compilation appearances for the group, including a 2002 World Cup album contribution, “Work of Heaven.”
