The Song of the Heart

"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...
