The Man Who Can't Be Moved

post #374


Another great weekend has passed. A bit change of plan on Saturday. I had planned to get Elisha her overdue check up, but since mom wasn’t feeling well, I took her to the doctor instead. So the first half day was spent at the hospital. Then the rest of the day was just slumbering and finishing How I Met Your Mother season 1. It’s a great serial…really…

I used some lines from it as my FB status and comments were pouring like rain…lolzzz. Then took a sneak peek by watching the first episode of the second season. Still good ;) Went to sleep was the closure for the day.

Woke up at almost 8 AM on Sunday, took a bath and when I checked my cell, there were already some missed calls from David. I went to the church and boy…it was very crowded. David already waited and we didn’t get seat inside the church. I was wondering for a while…why???

Then it came to me…the archbishop was visiting our parish and gonna serve the mass. No wonder…Then the mass began. Seeing the archbishop was… *couldn’t find any word atm… there’s this aura…man of God (which perhaps was driven my personal suggestion as well)…I wonder how’d it feel if it’s the pope I saw from such close distance…it’d have been breathtaking…

Anyway, the archbishop gave a very interesting sermon. He made a visitation to mark the start of Holy Bible month. He started his sermon with a little bit of history background. About how in early times the bible was translated to different languages by St. Jerome who was fluent in several languages such as Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic. And then the Second Vatican Council allowed the bible to be translated to various languages. Later he reminded us to be very careful in reading the bible. We shouldn’t confidently interpret the bible because God talked to each and everyone of us through the one and same bible, yet the message we received might be different. The bible touched us uniquely, affected by our own personal experience. He gave an illustration about three catholic who were in an accident. Each person might see the accident differently. The first person might be feeling it’s a wake up call from God, that the person needed to make amends. The second person might be feeling to cherish the life the person has. To be more grateful.

That’s why it is dangerous if we read the bible and said to our fellows, ‘Hey, here’s what bible told us today. Here’s what we need to do.’ Why? Because the part of the bible he/she read and interpreted was reflected on his/hew experience, which was not necessarily apply for others. Hence, other might perceive different things. We shouldn’t debate over this and let the interpretation done by the authority figure, the church that has been through from the beginning. Well, I don’t really remember other details…but it was sure an enlightening sermon. Perhaps I was mellow, but when I was just moved when I heard…”Hanya rahmat dan kasih dari-Mu, yang kumohon menjadi hartaku” It’s just…moving.

Then I went back home, drove my mom to Gadink then waited for my homies to come @Dante. They came at 1PM, we chatted then went to Cempaka Mas..it was very crowded as well there. Everybody seemed to be shopping for the Ied Fitri day. Met Bowo and we ate @Pizza Hut. After that, we went to MOI to watch Carriers. Standard movie with no explanation about how did it start and the end was an open one. Then we went back home and I continued How I Met Your Mother season 2.

Along the way yesterday, Agus played this song that I instantly like…the lyric was like the man who can’t be moved…I thought it’s about a man who made a stand and stood his ground, negatively, as in deciding to let go of something/someone. It turned out to be the opposite. So here it is…a man who cannot be moved.


The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved

Going Back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
saying, "if you see this girl can you tell her where I am"

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you

#
Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Policeman says, "Son you can't stay here"
I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for If it's a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go


#
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world

Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you wont mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
Cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved


Cause If one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we meet
Oh you see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I'm not moving,
(Cause If one day you wake up and find that you're missing me)
I'm not moving
(And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be)
I'm not moving
(Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we meet)
I'm not moving
(Oh you see me waiting for you on the corner of the street)


Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
