This original music in Japanese was taken from the pilot has long been considered as only been recorded in Japanese, until a French searcher discovered a copy of the French version in July 2015, then a copy of the English-dubbed version in June 2022.
The story is virtually identical to episode one of the finished series; However, the story was the only thing that was kept. Some characters underwent major redesigns from a typical anime design to the finished series, which is a mix of Japanese anime style and European art based on the appearance of classical Greek sculpture.
Renowned Japanese illustrators and animators Shingo Araki and Michi Himeno, who have worked in anime adaptations of famous manga (such as Masami Kurumada's Saint Seiya, Fūma no Kojirō, Ring ni Kakero, Riyoko Ikeda's Versailles no Bara, and UFO Robo Grendizer OVA) were responsible for the finished series' character designs, animation routines, and visual style!

Original: 0:00
Instrumental: 4:17
Acapella: 8:30
About the song:
Lead Me On was written by Amy Grant, Wayne Kirkpatrick, and Michael W. Smith. It is a fiery song, both in terms of lyrics and in music. The lyrics, according to Grant, deal abstractly with slavery and the Holocaust. The lyrics also talk about mans relation to these events and mans relation to man. The message of the song makes it very strong, unusual for Amy Grant, who was known as a pop/contemporary artist with meaningful, but light lyrics. The music only adds to the drama of the lyrics. This is helped along by the unusual time signature of the verses, with odd-numbered bars adding heightened tension. The intro on the album version is also in 6/8 and 4/4 simultaneously. It is mostly electric guitar, in stark contrast to the natural sounding songs on the rest of the Lead Me On album.
Another seemingly important aspect of the song was when it was being recorded. Grant was recording on the night of September 24, 1987, when she went into labor. She went to the hospital and had her first child, Matthew Garrison Chapman, the next day!
Trivia:
Like almost all the other singles from the album, it topped the Christian radio chart. Lead Me On became the only single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #96 and remaining on the chart for two weeks. In the United Kingdom, the single fared slightly better, peaking at #89, her first single to register on the charts there!
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Shoulder to the wheel
For someone elses selfish gain
Here there is no choosing
Working the clay
Wearing their anger like a ball and chain
[Verse 2]
Fire in the field
Underneath the blazing sun
But soon the sun was faded
And freedom was a song
I heard them singing when the day was done
Singing to the Holy One
[Hook]
Lead me on, lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into Your keeping, oh
Lead me on, lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking, lead on
[Verse 3]
Waiting for the train
Labeled with a golden star
Heavy hearted boarding
Whispers in the dark
Where are we going is it very far?
[Verse 4]
Bitter cold terrain
Echoes of a slamming door
Chambers made for sleeping forever
Voices like thunder in a mighty roar
Cryin to the Lord
[Hook]
Lead me on, lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into Your keeping, oh
Lead me on, lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking, lead on
[Bridge]
Man hurts man
Time and time, time again
And we drown in the wake of our power
Somebody tell me why
[Hook]
Lead me on, lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into Your keeping, oh
Lead me on, lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking, lead on
Lead me on, lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into Your keeping, oh
Lead me on, lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking, oh, lead on
[Outro]
(Lead me on)
Lean on me
Lead on, lead on
(Lead me on)
Its the comfort Im seeking
(Lead me on)

Always knew someday

Well have to make it far from home
Nobody sees that what were going through is nothing new
But we have to find it on our own
