While browsing videos on YouTube with "If We Hold On Together" in the search bar, I stumbled upon this version that actually has a spoken intro before the actual singing, and that is also different from the original too. Apparently, this version came from her unofficial release CD Album Soul Kiss: Motown Lost & Found (1970-1995), which was only released recently in 2017. You can find it here, tracklist number 13. So far, the only website I found that was selling these CDs is this one, but there's only one left in stock as of right now. So yeah, this was a very interesting find for me.

The spoken dialogue by Diana Ross herself at the beginning goes as follows...

The great circle of life has begun.
Some things you can see with your eyes,
others you see with your heart.
I'll be there with you,
even if you can't see me.
Let your heart be your guide.
It whispers...
so listen closely.
As long as you remember the things I've taught you,
in a way, we'll never be apart.
Because we are still a part of each other.
Look! A treestar!
It's very special.
It'll help you to grow strong and show you the way to the Great Valley,
where we can live together and in peace.

Hey everyone! This is my 1000^th post, yippee!

To commemorate this event, I'd like to share with you a tiny ode I made for a school assignment. I thought I could do some LBT related, and I also saw the opportunity to glorify a stick, which means so much to Petrie despite being a normal, boring, and dull stick. It's not much, but I hope you enjoy reading it.

This is the only thing I've written so far that's LBT related, so don't ask or expect anything else from me.

I will also have two versions, the one below this sentence and the grammatically incorrect version specifically written with Petrie's dialect. Hopefully I got most of it right.

Ode to My Snuggling Stick

I glide with ease,
in the twilight abyss,
spellbound,
with my bronze stick.
It is the staff,
with which I cast,
that fear itself,
is even aghast.
It is like my personal,
Great Valley,
for which I embrace,
my spirit within.
It is all that,
I ample,
to feel so content.

Yep yep yep, I'm new here! I've only discovered The Land Before Time franchise just recently, and I do wished that I discovered it earlier. I fell in love with the first movie, and I also fell in love with a particular sharptooth.... But anyways, I wouldn't be here without my recent discoveries of other shows that have excellent morals and dark themes, such as AOFW and Watership Down. I'm still pretty young as I'm in my first year of high school, and I plan to continue rewatching these through adulthood.
