The Journey (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Journey (sometimes known as "Who Will Rescue Me?") is a song from Walt Disney Productions' 1977 animated musical film, The Rescuers. It was sung by Shelby Flint and was written and composed by the song-writing team of Carol Connors, Sammy Fain and Ayn Robbins.
The song expresses the message in the bottle's desperate call for help in its journey through raging waves during a severe thunderstorm at sea. The repeated call "Who will rescue me?" caused some confusion with the film's viewers, making them believe the song was sung from Penny's perspective, a victim of kidnapping; however, the line "I'm lost at sea without a friend" is a clear explanation that the song is "sung" by the inanimate object. The song, which has few lyrics and relies mostly on its dramatic, persuasive music, was included as a bonus track in the soundtrack for the film's sequel, "The Rescuers Down Under" (1990).
