From Political Videos: "Gay Civil Rights Movement is Our Civil Rights Movement"

Forgive the cross-post, but I thought you might like to see this very powerful video:

In my book.

Yeah, that's one of my favorite songs, but I don't know if I can listen to it anymore without seeing the images in the video. Someone brought to my attention that Sarah Brightman added lyrics to the piece and truncated it. The lyrics are fitting and so very sad:

Figlio Perduto (Lost Son)

Muri die vento (Walls of wind)
Notte e scesa (Night has fallen)
Padre e figlio sono insiem (Father and son are together)

Con un cavallo (With a horse)
Vanno avanti (They proceed)
In questa grande oscurita (Through this intense darkness)

Ma ad un tratto (But suddenly)
Il bimbo trema (The boy trembles)
Dall paura (With fear)
Freddo si fa (It gets cold)

Padre oh Padre (Father oh Father)
Tu non hai visto (Haven't you seen)
Re degli elfi (The king of the elfs)
Eccolo la (There he is)

Figlio perduto, (Lost son)
Vuoi far un gioco? (Do you want to play?)
Gioia ti porto (I bring you joy)
Vieni con me (Come with me)

Padre oh padre (Father oh Father)
Hai gia sentito (Did you hear)
Cosa mi dice (What he said)
E che vuol' far'? (And what he will do?)

Figlio Perduto (Lost Son)
Se tu non vieni (If you don't come with me)
lo usero la forza che ho (I will use the power that I have)

Padre oh Padre (Father oh Father)
Re degli efli (The king of the elfs)
Mi sta toccando (Is touching me)
Male mi fa (He hurts me)

E il bambino (And the boy)
Con occhi chiusi (Eyes closed)
Lui non si muove (He doesn't move)
Perso e gia (He's already lost)

Figlio (Son)
Figlio perduto (Lost Son)
Se tu non vieni (If you don't come with me)
lo usero la mia forza (I will use my power)

Padre (Father)
Re degli efli (The king of the elfs)
Mi sta toccando (Is touching me)
Male mi fa (He hurts me)

E il bambino, (And the boy)
Con occhi chiusi (Eyes closed)
Lui non si muove (He doesn't move)
Perso e gia (He's already lost)

..perso e gia (He's already lost)

And here she is singing it (let's see if I can embed it):



Gar! Apparently not. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wuo6PUeyHmA

Thanks so much for bringing attention to my video. I was a labor of love, and I am thrilled that so many people have seen it. Maybe it will open some eyes.

Thanks again,
