Great Spirits

The version featured in the movie is sung by Tina Turner. Phil Collin’s version is featured as a bonus track in the Best Buy version of the soundtrack.

Tina Turner’s Version

When the Earth was young
And the air was sweet
And the mountains kissed the sky
In the great beyond
With its many paths
Man and nature lived side by side

In this wilderness of danger and beauty
Lived three brothers, bonded by love
Their hearts full of joy
They ask now for guidance
Reaching out to the skies up above

Great Spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other
In this world we remain
Truly brothers all the same

Give us wisdom to pass to each other
Give us strength so we understand
That the things we do
The choices we make
Give direction to all life’s plans

To look in wonder at all we’ve been given
In a world that’s not always as it seems
Every corner we turn
Only leads to another
A journey ends, but another begins

Great Spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other
In this world we remain
Truly brothers all the same

Great Spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other
In this world we remain
Truly brothers all the same

Brothers all the same

Phil’s Version

When the Earth was young
And the air was sweet
And the mountains kissed the sky
In the far beyond
With its many paths
Men and nature lived side by side

Every wisdom does not come without learning
And great vision not only with our eyes
And we can think that we see
Truly see all around us
But when we look do we see with open minds

Great Spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
The key to understanding
Is to see through others’ eyes
Find a way to help us
See from all sides
Truly see from all sides

Teach our children to look deeper than the surface
To see the world through another’s eyes
For to be blind beyond yourself is to look and not see
Knowing much is not enough to be wise

To see the wonder at all we’ve been given
In a world that’s not always as it seems

On the path that we choose
Turn every corner
Follow ‘long, for another begins

Great Spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
The key to understanding
Is to see through others’ eyes
Find a way to help us
See from all sides
Truly see from all sides

Great Spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
The key to understanding
Is to see through others’ eyes
Find a way to help us
See from all sides
Truly see from all sides

See from all sides
