Lyrics
Be brave, Raoul, I know the world is a scary place for you.
Be calm, be cool, for there’s a mission that only you can do.
If you follow your heart courage will break through!

Have faith, my child, when something’s lost and you haven’t a clue.
That cat has snatched the one we love, so your rescue must begin.
If you’re nimble and wise, in spite of your size, you’ll win!

Awakened from dreams, all of you screamed, when ruthless Tom Cat attacked!
You skiddle skedaddled, and hid in the cracks while Baby Sis snoozed in her sack.
With big hungry eyes Tom Cat snaffled his prize and dashed to his barn far away.
Mother and Father say you must be brave! Be brave and save the day!
I know the world is a scary place for you. But it’s a mission that only you can do.

‘Twas a dangerous mission with fierce opposition, fast moving cars and an owl.
Through a dark tunnel, a bright field of yellow, and to the old barn at last.
Now Tom Cat has trapped you, he’s ready to munch. You must find a way to break free.
Mother and Father say you must be brave! Be brave and save the day!
I know the world is a scary place for you. But it’s a mission that only you can do.

You must follow your heart, be nimble and wise.
When darkness falls, open your mind and you will see.
You will overcome this enemy. The time is now to dig down deep and be free!

Be brave, Raoul, I know the world is a scary place for you.
Be calm, be cool, for there’s a mission that only you can do.
If you follow your heart courage will break through!

This work takes so much effort to accomplish, from conception to finished piece. Being able to afford to attempt even this modest piece is a blessing. Orchestras are not cheap. Then one has to find a lady that can pull it off. You did all that in grand style. Well done!

An enjoyable listen. It's nice to hear a live orchestra; one that 'breathes'. Good orchestration as well. I'm strongly reminded of the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Phantom of the Opera vibes.
