Jalanan Berduri
Siti Nurhaliza · Siti Nurhaliza [1996]
Lautan keruh yang bergelora kecewa
Bayu nan lembut yang berhembusan kesedihan
Kini jadi taufan kehilangan haluan
Sekian lama daku mencari bahagia
Namu tiada ku semukanya di mana
Jalanan ku tempuh penuh duri
Beginikah suratan hidupku ditentukan
Mengapa duka lara seringkali melingkari diri ini
Bilakan berakhir kisah pilu dari hidupku
Ingin ku pergi bawa hati
Jauh ku pergi bawa diriku yang sepi
Oh mungkinkah ku bertemu oh bahagia yang ku cari
Segala kepahitan ku rasa ku pendamkan
Tak mungkin dapatku meluahkan pedihnya
Biarlah daku mengharunginya sendirian
Waktu sakitnya daku rasakan derita
