Lea Salonga Performs Powerful Rendition Of 'The Prayer'

David Foster, Carole Bayer Sager, Alberto Testa, and Tony Renis originally wrote this iconic song in 1999. The song was written in both English and Italian for artists Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli to sing solo, respectively. Later, the two superstars came together for an incredible duet of this beautiful song that received rave reviews.

“Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer”

Today, Lea Salonga is at the 2022 National Memorial Day Concert for a very special performance of ‘The Prayer.’ You may recognize Lea as the voice of two Disney princesses, Jasmine from Aladdin and Mulan from Mulan. She has appeared in multiple Broadway shows and even won a Tony award.

Her unique voice and powerful stage persona have made Lea a force in the musical world. And when you hear her live performance of ‘The Prayer,’ you will be in complete awe. Her vocals are clear and humble, not taking away from the event or the purpose of her beautiful performance. 

One viewer said, “The best cover ever of "The Prayer"! She made the song her own! Awesome and stupendous rendition!”

Another wrote, “World-class performer.”

This pitch-perfect performance will fill you with goosebumps. And in honor of Memorial Day, this song takes on an even deeper meaning. Who else is simply amazed right now?

Psalms 4:1 “Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.”
