When you hear the word flood, you can imagine an event that is common in Indonesian
society. A flood is a natural phenomenon that occurs due to human activities. This happens
because of the obstacles to rainwater flow that occur due to several factors. Starting from
a forest area converted into a settlement. If a forest located in a river is converted into
a settlement, this will cause rainwater to have no place to flow. Another cause is the
obstruction of a watershed. Disposal of garbage in the watershed causes the river to become
clogged with garbage, causing the rainwater to not flow smoothly so that the
flow of water that should be large becomes narrow and overflows. Another factor is that the
water absorption area is built by settlements or factories, so rainwater stagnates.

Diamond
By: Rihana

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond
Find light in the beautiful sea, I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I, we're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive, we're like diamonds in
the sky

I knew that we'd become one right away

Oh, right away
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright, tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)

Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shining bright like a diamond

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Palms rise to the universe as we moonshine and molly
Feel the warmth, we'll never die, we're like diamonds in
the sky
You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive, we're like diamonds in
the sky
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright, tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
So shine bright, tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
