Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight

I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand
The way we feel
They just don't trust
What they can't explain
I know we're different but,
Deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other
To have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know

When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
Always

    General Comment:I think this song is meant for people that have a love between them that is not common enough for society to accept. I'm in one of those types of situations and I'd love to play this song for the guy I love. Hopefully it'd give him courage to continue our relationship.

    General Comment:When listening to this song while thinking about gay rights, this can have a drastically different interpretation...

    The lyrics that really drive this are, "Why can't they understand / The way we feel / They just don't trust / What they can't explain / I know we're different but, / Deep inside us / We're not that different at all" and "Don't listen to them / 'Cause what do they know / We need each other / To have, to hold / They'll see in time / I know..."

    I know that's absolutely not the meaning of the song, and rather it's a song made specifically to describe the relationship between a mother gorilla and her human son... But yeah, that's always the feeling I got when listening to this song... ;)

    General Comment:This song reminds me of a mother's love for her child. How she's willing to accept the child no matter what he looks like, or how to society rejects the child. Since it is about Kala's feelings for Tarzan. It's like Kala's reassuring Tarzan that no matter what the other gorilla's say, she loves him and will take care of him. <3

    Oh, just listening to this song reminds me of the wonderful childhood I had~

    General Comment:I don't know if it's been said.
    But everytime I listen to this song, I can't help but hear it as a song about a gay relationship. (There's a better way to put it, but I can't think of it right now)

    I mostly hear it in the second verse (Whatever it's called). Every word. "Why can't they understand the way we feel? They just don't trust what they can't explain. I know we're different. But deep inside us, we're not that different at all." Then, "They'll see in time. I know"

    I'm not saying that this is what it is meant to be. It's a nice song about a love between a gorilla and a human, as well. But I like to/can't help but listen to it as song about two gay people breaking bounderies for love.

    General Comment:This song always makes me cry when I watch Tarzan. This obviously is a song about differences and love. Whether it be parent or child etc.

    General Comment:This song reminds me of the amazing man I am in love with. I am pregnant with his child and his family does not like me even though they have never met me because we are 18 years apart. They think I am using him. It has made him lose family he says its okay but to me its not. I wnat him to have a relationship with them so im walking away. I dont want to though. In life sometimes you have to do what you dont want to do. But I know that i will always be with him because he has my heart "when destiny calls you you must be strong i may not be with you but youve got to hold on they'll see in time i know we will show them together" just makes me cry harder...and i can only hope they see that so we can all be together. I love you honey with all of my heart ALWAYS i am so in love with you you are amazing and I am going to be missing you while they figure out we are destiny. I just know I always have a part of you (your son or daughter) I love you...just look over your shoulder Ill be there always

    General Comment:When I was in high school (about 8 years ago) my then boyfriend (now best friend and possibly boyfriend again :]) would sing this to me over the phone all the time because my 'rents were always fighting and it would upset me, and I would call him crying. I hope he comes back to me soon :). We're best friends and I know we'd be good together.
