EDIT: Thanks to all who have taken time to listen and comment. I have uploaded an updated version of "The Rhinos Cry" with changes to reflect some of the suggestions made here on the forum to improve the song. The guitar intro is now balanced to the center. I was able to get a singer to replace my vocals. I made the lyric changes suggested by Tommyad.
I appreciate Herb's offer to work with my off-pitch vocals in Melodyne but the best repair is to replace in this instance in my opinion. I appreciate Bob Butler for doing the vocals. I increased the volume of the resonator guitar soloist. I think all of these changes have improved the song quite a bit. I did notice an artifact in the mp3 guitar intro that was uploaded to Soudcloud but I did not hear in the Wav version. Not sure what caused it.
The Rhino's Cry_Revised
Lyrics:
As the sun rises above the plains
Another field is scarred with bloody stains
A gunshot sounds and an innocent dies
The rhinos cry The rhinos cry
Every day gunshots fill the air
Time to stop them and show we care
And make it safe for where the rhino lie
Hear their cry The rhinos cry
Let's not face the morning after
Wondering why we lost them all
Will it be me or maybe its you
To stand for those unable to
As the sun rises above the plains
No more fields scarred with bloody stains
Let's make it safe for where our rhino lie
Hear their cry
The rhinos cry
The rhinos cry
Rhinos cry
The rhinos cry
