Lyrics To The

Animals Anthem

"Rise Up - Make this Moment Last"

Maria Daines with

Paul Killington - UK

From the land to the sea

From the mountain to the shore

We hear your voice

In your pain, in your need

In defence we are here

To lead you forth

For the moments we love

Are the moments we share

Forever more

And the freedom we give

Is our spirit relived

Ever yours...

Rise up and heal them

Rise up and care for them

Rise up to the love in our hearts

Rise up for the creatures

Make this moment last...

In this life we are one

Paws, hands and hearts

Hooves, feathers, wings

Nothing is lost if only we unite

Our song begins...

For the reasons are pure

If our kindness is sown in the wind

This moment shall grow

And onwards we go

And we begin...

Rise up and heal them

Rise up and care for them

Rise up to the love in our hearts

Rise up for the creatures

Make this moment last...

We invite you to celebrate and pay tribute to our beloved animals. Kindly read the text which follows: enjoy the music and read the inspiring lyrics written by England's award winning music composers - Maria Daines and Paul Killington and especially created for WAG NY and our annual "Moment In Time Campaign". Words of appreciation for Maria and Paul shall never be adequate.

We so desperately need a singular, inspiring and powerful global Anthem for Animals world wide and we hope to produce the "Animals Anthem" with a choir and a full orchestra.

It would be wonderful if Maria and Paul's new composition can be remembered by everyone as the ever growing, ever powerful, united voice for animals throughout the world.

The music is haunting and the message is clear. We must rise up, unite and, "Make This Moment Last"!

I implore everyone to offer to the Universe but "A Moment In Time", a moment of synchronous, silent, yet united reflection of prayer and meditation for those souls who love so unconditionally, and ask for nothing in return.

For those souls who are truly the masters of spiritual evolution, yet suffer so universally, and with such torment, by the hands of the human animal. And, for those souls who have passed and have finally found eternal peace.

Let us, all join together and harness the powerful energies that we all possess to change the tide for the "Innocents" forever.

We are so pleased and delighted to announce that the ANIMALS ANTHEM - "RISE UP" - was played at the closing ceremonies of Animal Rights 2006 in Washington D.C.

We are thankful to Mr. Alex Hershaft of FARM (Farm Animal Reform Movement) and the Chair of 2006 for his wholehearted support. We were told there was not a dry eye in the house!

As well, Dr. Elliot Katz, President and Founder of IN DEFENSE of ANIMALS will graciously partner with WAG NY and sponsor our ANIMALS ANTHEM and we are ever grateful for their compassion and their support..

We hope to persuade all major animal welfare society's through out the world to honor all animals with this poignant and touching musical tribute! "Rise Up - Make This Moment Last"

May we offer tribute to our "sister" the lovely ' Mary Alice Pollard of Cornwalls Voice for Animals - Uk and her husband Chris Pollard for playing such a huge role in making the Animal's Anthem possible.

We wish also to thank our dear friend Paola Ghidotti of OIPA - Italy for her vision, her support and her friendship.

It is with an intense

sense of urgency that the

Universe cries out for a

plea of gentleness, and

empathy for all

living creatures.

God created those who

are voiceless &

defenseless for their

own glory & for a

far greater purpose

than most humans can

contemplate.

Prayer for Little Paws

Author Unknown

This is a prayer for little paws

All up and down the land.

Driven away, no friendly voice,

Never an outstretched hand.

For weary little paws of beasts.

Torn and stained with red.

And never a home and never a rest

till little beasts are dead.

Oh God of homeless things, look

down and try to ease the way

Of all the little weary paws

That walk the world today.

Thanks so very much to everyone who supported us during this campaign.

We Will Remember Them All!

Those Who Have Passed,

The Nameless Dead,

Will Never,

Ever Be Forgotten!
