Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli perform the Prayer on special

Lady Gaga helped to get artists together for the Global Citizen’s One World: Together at Home special. One of the most iconic performances of the night was by Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, John Legend and Lady Gaga. They performed Celine and Andrea’s popular song called “The Prayer.”

The song was originally released as a duet in 1999. Part of the song says, “We dream of a world without violence / A world of justice and hope / Everyone give his neighbor’s hand / Symbol of peace, of fraternity / The strength it gives us / It is the desire that everyone finds love / Around and within itself / This my prayer, we turn to you.”

What a beautiful message to share with the world right now. All of the artists performed from their homes, but the vocals still came together beautifully. Pianist Lang Lang played the piano. Celine and Andrea sang most of the song, but Lady Gaga and John sang several parts.
