It's a beautiful song. Really beautiful.
So beautiful it wasn't even ruined by Mel Gibson's singing talents!
And they went ahead and put the "pop" version over the beginning of the closing credits. They were committed to this song...but, as the story has been told already in this thread they made a rash decision to cut it for fear the young audience wouldn't appreciate it...an unlikely miscalculation by the Disney company--which rarely underestimates the intelligence of their young customers.
There are some really nice covers of the song available.
