Song Meaning
Steven Curtis Chapman's 'We Belong Together (Tarzan and Jane)' is a playful love song that uses the Tarzan and Jane story to celebrate how two very different people complete each other. The lyrics describe meeting, feeling like opposites, and yet realizing that their differences are what make their bond strong. While it is not explicitly a worship song, it reflects a Christian worldview of marriage and covenant love, emphasizing commitment and the idea that each person is shaped by the other. The song's message of unity and belonging can be seen as a metaphor for the relationship between Christ and the church, though it primarily focuses on human romantic love.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Deep in the jungle, up in a tree
In Indiana 1983
Living on pizza and too little sleep
Just me and my animal friends
Then in the distance I saw through the leaves
Creature of beauty like none I had even seen
The trouble started when you smiled at me
And our two worlds came crashing together
And true love slowly began
I am Tarzan, You are Jane
I am the night, and you are the day
We're like sunshine and rain
We're so different from each other
You are a woman, I am a man
You're the sea, and I am the land
And I would not be who I am
If I didn't have you
I know that some days we both wonder how
We got together, we're still so different now
But I can't imagine my life without you
Cause all those things that make us so different
Are just what make us all that we are
I am Tarzan, You are Jane
I am the night, and you are the day
We're like sunshine and rain
We're so different from each other
You are a woman, I am a man
You are the sea, and I am the land
And I would not be who I am
If I didn't have you
We belong together
