@javonni08 im sorry javonni, it wasn't wrote about the halocaust...I know Andrea Klouse personally. It was wrote about a young boy that was trapped in the war, air lifted to the USA for treatment, sent home after healing and was unfortunately caught in crossfire of the war and passed away.

@jackjack9er9er that is completely wrong and sounds like you just made it up there is even an interview with Kurt Bestor explaining this song and never did he single out and mention children in Africa

@javonni08

No. This song was written after the composer, (who worked in a childrens hospital over in Africa,) Went to go get supplys from the city. He came back to see that the hospital was bomb and everyone inside was murdered. Get it? "Prayer of the Children" ha. Please dont assume. Especially if you dont know what you are talking about.

@javonni08, not a chance. The Jews of the holocaust would never cry to Jesus. Think about it.

This song was written by a man who witnessed the horrors of the ethnic clensing in the former Bosnia Herzegovina.

Having lived in this war-torn country back in the late 1970's, I grew to love the people with whom I lived. . .When Yugoslavian President Josip Broz Tito died, different political factions jockeyed for position and the inevitable happened - civil war. Suddenly my friends were pitted against each other.

That is why he wrote with song, and @kimbalchase, Andrea Klouse helped arrange this song. You can read about why he wrote it on his blogspot

[javonni08]

The story of the song the composer wrote it because of the halucaust of the jews thats why it was written

[kimbalchase]

Every one is wrong about this song. It was written and performed by Kurt Bestor. He is not a doctor. To hear it in it's finest form, listen to him doing it.
