Prayer (Song For All Neglected And Mistreated Animals) - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jan 02, 2011
DESCRIPTION:
This video was originally uploaded by Dockeeping -- this is his LEGACY.

PLEASE, READ THIS BEFORE WATCHING - VERY IMPORTANT!

Well, I really don't know why I'm posting this here... This is NOT any music video I'm usually making; this is NOT even any standard song, because a song text without singing is not any song... And the lyrics for the song are not usual too, they were written for one specific occasion. And they were never intended to release, but only as little test of the possibilities, before finalization with some new music...

But let's start from the beginning...

I wrote these lyrics some time ago, with the music from song God Help The Outcasts from Disney's movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

But I must first explain to you, why and for what I did this at all...

Some time ago there was one project (please, don't ask me for any details), in preliminary phase, concerning protecting animals and education about the problem.
They needed, among the other things, some sad songs about mistreated animals, which they wanted to use in their promotional videos. So I tried to make some song, and because the music was not specified yet, I chose, for this test song, this sad music from movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame - the Esmeralda's prayer to God. And I rewrote it from the animals' point of view, as a prayer to US...

And because of the theme and the original intention for it you may find the song little... controversial, I think.

But the project was unfortunately canceled soon and only these lyrics remained to me. Without any original music, without any video footage and without any singer...

And yesterday I accidentally heard the original song on a radio. And I remembered the lyrics. I found this instrumental version of the song and after long time I tried to sing along with it again (Don't want to hear it :-). But it still worked... And I felt sorry for the song - here - forgotten - without any use.

And so, because the project is dead, I decided that I would release the song lyrics now for all. I really don't know if someone may or will like it, but maybe... I don't know...

But, anyway, you can use it for some good reason too, if you want, but if you will do so, please, give me some credit somewhere in your work, if possible... I really put much effort to it... though only for the test.

Because I can post only videos here and I personally DON'T want to make any video with this song, I'm posting the lyrics here in this description and as titles with the instrumental version of the original song. But if you want to watch it, then you HAVE TO know the original song, for example here:

Movie version:

because without its knowledge is nearly impossible to get the right rhythm. And if you already know it, I encourage you to sing along with it, because it's the only way how to get it... Please, try it... really... Thank you...

QUALITY NOTE:

Prayer
------------

I don't know if I can change it
But I have to try
Tell you what now often happens
And why I must cry
Tell you about all the wrongs here
Help us break it through
Look in our eyes and not over
And you will see entire truth

Listen my prayer
Let my words fly high
What we have done wrong?
Why we have to die?

Strong or the weakest
Don't leave us in rain
Despite what they say
We can feel the pain

We all are creatures
Under same Sun
Why you don't listen?
What else must be done?

Here is my prayer
Our hearts are not holes
Despite what they say
We all have the souls

I don't know if there's a reason
Why you are not same?
Why are some of you much better?
They treat us
Know us
Like friends live with us

You know my prayer
It's not hard to reach
Will you understand?
Though we don't have speech?

We don't want so much
Our time flows as streams
I wish that one day
We'll fulfill our dreams

For small and big ones
For young and old
I hope for one thing
For better World
