Lyrics
Intro
(Dramatic Orchestral Hit)
(Fast Accordion & Violin Solo - Zapin Rhythm)
(Gendang Rampak - Energetic Percussion)
Verse 1
(Voice 1 - Siti Style: Soft but steady)
Awan hitam bergulung datang
Guruh berbunyi di angkasa raya
Air bah turun menerjang ladang
Menguji iman hamba yang percaya
Verse 2
(Voice 2 - Iyeth Style: Deep, Powerful, Gritty)
Walau rumah dihanyut arus
Harta benda sirna seketika
Semangat di dada takkan tergerus
Kita ditempa menjadi baja!
Pre-Chorus
(Duet - Harmony)
Hapuslah air mata di pipi
Tataplah esok mentari pagi
Badai pasti 'kan berlalu pergi
Tuhan takkan menguji di luar budi
Chorus

Sumatra Kuat! Sumatra Hebat!
Rakyatnya tangguh memegang adat
Walau badai datang mendekat
Kaki berpijak semakin kuat!

Di balik duka tersimpan berkah
