"The Song of the Heart" is a song written and performed by Prince especially for the 2006 film Happy Feet.
The song came about when Prince was approached to allow his music to be covered for the film. Prince initially refused, but was so impressed by the film that he not only gave his permission, but offered to write a new song for the film. It is also the only song on the soundtrack specifically written for this film. "The Song of the Heart" is the first single released from the soundtrack and won the 2007 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.
Lyrics[]
You might make a different song
Yes, that's right, it's true
That don't make anybody
More or less as good as you
If you can't feel the music
That's all you really need
Then turn this party all the way out
Good time guaranteed
Everybody get up, clap your hands
Dancin' to the beat
Whatever you do little darlin'
It's cool just get up out your seat
Wave your flag
Because everybody plays a part
One world united
Singing the song of the heart
Song, the song of the heart
The song, the song of the heart
Look everybody makes mistakes
Oh yeah, not one or two
That don't make the dirty little things
They say about you true
You tell 'em, step aside little babies
And watch me do my thing
And I don't even need a good reason to do
Just listen to me sing
Everybody get up, clap your hands
And show them what you got
Tonight we gonna jam from now until eternity
Don't you stop, make it hot oh
Wave your flag
Because everybody plays a part
One world united
Singing this song, this song of the heart
The song, the song of the heart
The song, the song of the heart
Come on, watch me now
Oh, I don't care what the people say
This is my life
I just got to like that okay
They can go fly their momma's kite
We can be together if we all do a part
I'll let you if you let me sing the song of the heart
We can be together if we all do a part
I'll let you if you let me sing the song
Song of the heart
One world, one world, one world united
Singing the song, singing the song
Singing the, singing the, singing the
Singing the song of the heart
The song, the song of the heart
The song, the song of the heart
The song, the song of the heart
The song of the heart
The song of the heart
The song of the heart...
