Singer-songwriter Beyonce released a new song 'Spirit' from Disney's 'The Lion King' on Wednesday.

The song which commences from the high pitch voice of the singer starts playing right before the important phase of Nala, the character voiced by Beyonce, in the flick.

The soothing song, whose lyrical video released today, goes on with Beyonce crooning, "The wild wind is talking for the first time with the melody that pulls you towards it, painting picture of paradise."

The four-minute thirty-seven-second melody mostly has low pitch music except for little duration where the singer gives listener goosebumps with her high notes with lyrics, "watch the heavens open, can you hear it calling?"

After maintaining the same music frequency during the maximum part of the melody, the beats drop completely in the end with just Beyonce humming, "your destiny is coming close, so stand up and fight. So go into that far off land and be one with the great lion."

'Spirit,' which also holds chances of being considered for Academy Awards is part of an album named 'The Lion King: The Gift' that the 'Halo' singer is producing and performing herself along with the other artists, reported Fox News.
