Disney – God Help The Outcasts lyrics

Despite my lack of piety in relation to the religious mentionings within this song, I feel that the song here can be perceived (even for non-religious folks like me) to fit different circumstances depending on the person listening to it. People who face oppression and enmity in our society (like homosexuals, for example) may relate to this song in the sense that they suffer greatly under the tyranny of societal dictations that further quash their hopes of acceptance in, and that they'd probably have to yearn for that acceptance through a greater force beyond us all due to the majority's indifference, otherwise their happiness will never be fully consummated. The one listening to the song may envision themselves in that scene as Esmeralda, being someone of that opposed minority group that wishes for mere happiness and equality while their pleas are ignored because of ignorance and superficial desires of those considered "normal". The final scene where the protagonist sings "I thought we were all the children of God," further prove to show the hope of minorities to be treated fairly within the world rather than receiving the cold shoulder for the aspects of them that makes others view them as subordinate.

We live in a world of diversity, to withhold prejudice and allow the "outcasts" of humanity to forever languish is to make ourselves unworthy of existence.
