Redfourth Chorus - The Prayer (Cover)

The Redfourth Chorus, Kenya, covers “THE PRAYER” a song originally sang by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli and composed by David Foster. This rendition is arranged by Philip 'Filah' Tuju.
Redfourth Chorus founder and director of western music was inspired to cover this song by the current situation in Aleppo, Syria. He was moved by the reality that children who should be enjoying their childhood have to deal with the devastation of war. He approached various schools in Kenya to sing a song dedicated all children around the world. A song that captures the unspoken desires of every child.
Originally the song had english and Italian text but Filah replaced the Italian section with Swahili lyrics that now gives the song an honest african identity.

The song features singers from various schools and colleges.

They include
Precious Blood -Riruta
Nova Academies
RedRose Primary School Kibra
Sankofa Academy
Goodrich Schools
Beautiful Hearts Kindergarten
Songa Mbele Childrens Centre
Upper Hill School

The Anchor voices are
Maryolive W. Mungai
Phyllis Kimani Wambvi
Flo Mutia
Philip 'Filah' Tuju

Swahili lyrics translation
Twaiombea dunia amani (We pray for peace in our world)
Bila udhalimu vita wala njaa (without injustice, war or hunger)
Pahali majirani, husaidia wageni ( where neighbors help strangers)
Ishara ya urafiki, undugu upendo (as a sign of friendship, brotherhood and love)

Na kwa imani, tunayo moyoni (and with this faith, that we have in our hearts)
Tutakuwa salama (we will be safe)
