"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.
