Lyrics used in the commercial

I will be the answer
At the end of the line
I will be there for you
While you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance
If you can't look down

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind

Description

Dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens are shown in a montage. They have been rescued from their abusers, and although they look sad, malnourished, and injured, the ad gives hope that as a donor to the SPCA, one could help these animals.

BCSPCA (Canada) version:
Every hour an animal is beaten or abused
They suffer alone and terrified
Waiting for someone to help

ASPCA (United States) version:
Every 10 seconds in America an animal is beaten or abused
They suffer alone and terrified
Waiting for someone to help
