My older brother sang the song a lot but I couldn't really get with it. It was t until I visited Japan now that I understand why this is a masterpiece. I will never forget that disney ride until the day I die. Truly a magical place belonging to Disney respectfully!
As I heard this song upon boarding the Sinbad ride in Disneysea Tokyo, I instantly fell in love with it - super beautiful song w meaningful lyrics, amazing ride, awesome Japan Disney experience n great Jap travelling moments - all reminisced well:)

I didn't understand what was so special about this ride, until I rode it for the first time myself in 2018. I instantly fell in love with it (and Chandu! So cute! 😍). Compass Of Your Heart is now my favorite Disney Parks song, and I've been a lifelong fan...so that isn't an easy choice for me! I hope all the Japanese Disney Parks fans know what a treasure they have - truly one of the best of all time.
as a multifaceted filmmaker myself, this is one of my passion projects for Disney animation studios now that they accept hand drawn animated projects, essentially based on the ride and featuring alan menken music, how do you react on that intention?
First time for me in Tokyo Disney Sea, and I also fell in love with this ride. What a beautiful song, I also appreciate the craftsmanship and love that went into the Puppets and how long the ride is ❤
Villagers: Lift your sails to the heavens and fly on the breeze! Steer straight towards the horizon and seek brand new seas! Life's awaiting you out there, and if you sail true, You may find a priceless treasure out there too! Sindbad: Tides may turn you and toss you and storms may arise! Harm may stand in the path where your destiny lies! Just reach out for a friend when you're lost and astray Let the compass of your heart show you the way! As the winds of your fortune propel you along Always steer to the right, or you'll drift to the wrong Help all those who need helping, no matter their size For the compass of your heart leads to your prize! Life is the greatest adventure! There is no map, there's no chart But if you seek life's great treasure, follow the compass of your heart! More than gems... more than gold... one good deed's worth more than wealth untold... (singing with the Giant who sings along with Sindbad after rescuing him) Life is the greatest adventure! There is no map, there's no chart! But if you seek life's great treasure, follow the compass of your heart! (singing with the Sultan of India who repeats Sindbad's lines) More than silks... more than spice... kindness is a gift beyond all price... Come the end of your journey at last you will know That great treasure you hunted, you found long ago! It's not diamonds or rubies, or silver or jade No, the treasure is the lifelong friend's you've made! Life is the greatest adventure! There is no map, there's no chart! But if you seek life's great treasure, follow the compass of your heart! Villagers: When you arrive home safe and sound, look at the friendships you have found... Richer by far than at the start, follow the compass of your heart!
