Oh jiwaku...
Dimanakah aku kini
Kau bawa aku malintasi tempat yang tinggi
Oh tubuhku...
Mengapa angkau kini masih membisu
Tak kunjung bebicara padaku...

Oh...
Ceritakanlah padaku
Apa yang mengeruhkan
Hati dan jiwaku
Tolonglah...
Kau tuntunkan aku lagi...
Agar ragaku menyatu bersama isi jiwaku

Penuntun jiwaku...
Luruskan hatiku...
Seandainya aku tahu apa yang akan terjadi nanti

Aku masih melayang, bersandingkan langit hitam...
Masih melayang
Terus melayang

Oh...
Ceritakanlah padaku
Apa yang mengeruhkan hidup dan jiwaku...
Tolonglah...
Kau tuntun aku lagi...
Kau tutunkan aku lagi...
Agar ragaku menyatu bersama isi jiwaku

Tak perlu kutangangisi
Kupasrahkan sekuat hati
Saat jiwa terlepas...
Saat jiwa terlepas...

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.”
