              "Two Worlds" is a song by English drummer and singer Phil Collins, which serves as the

             main theme for Disney's 1999 film Tarzan, and appears four times on the film's soundtrack.

        "Two Worlds" was the first song that Phil Collins wrote for the film. After writing the piece, he collaborated with score composer Mark Manchina to ensure the musical motifs carried throughout the movie. Manchina emphasised the need for cohesiveness in the score, so "the songs didn't sound like they were recorded two years before and just dropped in". The song is a key example of how musical continuity is present across the soundtrack, with "Two Worlds" woven into the musical tapestry of the film multiple times.

              Phil Collins recorded the song in English (Two Worlds), Spanish (Dos Mundos), Italian (Se vuoi), French (Entre deux mondes), and German (Zwei Welten). In addition to the song's inclusion on the film soundtrack, it was also released as a single, which remained on the German Singles Charts for five weeks, peaking at #43 on October 2, 2000.

          In the Disney Interactive video game Tarzan Activity Center, an activity entitled "Tarzan's Sing and Swing" gave players the ability to either listen to three Tarzan songs, among them "Two Worlds", or sing along to a karaoke version of them.

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

 

Two worlds, one family

Trust your heart

Let fate decide

To guide these lives we see.
