This is the song demo that I'm most proud of. I started work on it back in 2018, and completed most of it within the last five years. The reason this is not done yet is because I'm missing a few key spoken voice lines, and I do not have *any* singing recorded yet for Starlight Glimmer, Cherry Berry, and possibly also Dragonfly. I was able to finally get Spitfire's sung part recorded, though. That's safely in storage.
The Cathy Warner segment at the beginning was performed by @ScribblerProductions101. A few years ago, I commissioned her to record many of the Cathy Warner segments in the original story. This is the first time any of those segments has been published.
The acoustic guitar in the "Space Oddity" portion of this song was performed by @FinnMK, as part of something I commissioned years ago. All of the other instruments in my arrangement are from Musescore. Other than Cathy Warner, all voices in this video were performed by me.

The image of the Ares IV MAV also comes from the movie.

![The MK Christmas Special: Lion of Judah [Burkina Faso/West Africa]
This song features a call and response style to it. One of the suggested performance methods is to have the older kids lead, and have the younger kids echo.
As with the other videos, the most important credits are visible in the video itself, but for this description, Ill write them here, too.
Music and lyrics by Kathie Hill, arranged by Cliff (C.) Barny Robertson and Kathie Hill. The MK Christmas Special: Lion of Judah [Burkina Faso/West Africa]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/knZc4VG2Mac/mqdefault.jpg)
