"Two Worlds" is the opening song of the 1999 Disney animated feature film, Tarzan. Performed by Phil Collins, the song acts as a prologue for the film, centering the events of when Tarzan and his birth parents ended up in the African jungles, eventually colliding with a broken family of gorillas. It is later reprised during the part where Kala attempts to take Tarzan away from a ravenous leopard named "Sabor" and later at the end of the film when Tarzan, Jane, and Porter continue spending their lives in the jungle.
Lyrics
Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see
A paradise untouched by man
Within this world blessed with love
A simple life, they live in peace
Softly tread the sand below your feet now
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see
Beneath the shelter of the trees
Only love can enter here
A simple life, they live in peace
Raise your head up
Lift high the load
Take strength from those that need you
Build high the walls
Build strong the beams
A new life is waiting
But danger's no stranger here
No words describe a mother's tears
No words can heal a broken heart
A dream is gone, but where there's hope
Somewhere something is calling for you
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see
Every moment now the bond grows stronger
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see
Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives,
To guide these lives we see
Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see...
Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see...
A paradise untouched by man
Within this world blessed with love
A simple life, they live in peace
Softly tread the sand below your feet now
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see
Beneath the shelter of the trees
Only love can enter here
A simple life, they live in peace
Raise your head up
Lift high the load
Take strength from those that need you
Build high the walls
Build strong the beams
A new life is waiting
But danger's no stranger here
No words describe a mother's tears
No words can heal a broken heart
The dream is gone, but where there's hope
Somewhere something is calling for you
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see
With every ending comes a new beginning
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these live,
To guide these lives we see
Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
