okay, I like this kids voice and its an amazing song but i almost didn't watch it cause he spent the first 2:55 talking.

@BardinJamesBishop David's "talking" always has a heartfelt message and what he is "talking" about in this video is worth hearing. He is explaining what charities are important to him and why the song is so special. His fans like hearing what he has to say :)

KONY 2012! Even David is aware of Invisible Children. Let's everyone help out!

Kurt Bestor was present in some of David's shows during this Christmas tour. He was there to witness David sing this song. You ask him whether David sang this with heart or not. Btw, Kurt had the largest hand in producing David's Christmas From The Heart album.

@GreenScreenMayhem "should be long phrasing pauses this is dissapoointing." how specific and SO TECHNICAL. Interpreting a song and sharing it's message shouldn't be about that. You saying that he did not sing this with feeling indicates that you were too focused on being technical, and a stickler to the original. It's his OWN RENDITION and he sings it with such HEART.

GreenScreenMayhem: You are wrong! I have heard the composer of this song sing it MANY times in person in SLC, UT. This is the closest to the original I have ever heard! It is beautiful. What a great voice and great young man! Kudos David. : )

[GreenScreenMayhem]

this is a dissapointment to everyone who has ever heard Prayer of the Children his voice is ok ,but the phrasing is off the song has no feeling, well the way he sang it. it is not suppose to be short their should be long phrasing pauses this is dissapoointing.

@benhbook He had gone to Serbia. In this song, he was talking about Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian children with no homes.

Kinda saddening, because Kurt wrote this song after returning to a Childrens hospital in (country, i can't remember at the moment) to deliver medicine. And when he returned, the hospital, and hundreds of innocent youthful lives were taken; leveled.

So beautiful, I'm so proud of him.

NOOOOOOOO!!!! I really wanted to hear him hit the high notes on the "oohs". When my choir did this song, not the whole group couldn't hit the higher notes, so me and a few others got to do an (correct me if im wrong, but i dont know a better word for it) ensemble where everyone dropped out except for about 15 people at the "ooh ooh la da dohm"s , and it was the best performance our men's select did all year. If you want to hear the higher version, wathch the baylor university.
