lyrics
There is a jungle and it's over the water
under the canopy lie mothers and daughters
and fathers and sons, fleeing the slaughter
There is a jungle and it's over the water
There is a graveyard and it's under the water
down on the seabed lie mothers and daughters
in permanent sleep, like others before them
There is a graveyard and it's under the water
There is a jungle and it's over the water
where desperate souls fleeing the mortars
are trapped on our shores and we're closing the border
There is a jungle and it's over the water
There is a jungle and it's over the water
under the canopy lie mothers and daughters
and fathers and sons, fleeing the slaughter
There is a jungle...
under the canopy lie mothers and daughters
and fathers and sons, fleeing the slaughter
There is a jungle and it's over the water
There is a graveyard and it's under the water
down on the seabed lie mothers and daughters
in permanent sleep, like others before them
There is a graveyard and it's under the water
There is a jungle and it's over the water
where desperate souls fleeing the mortars
are trapped on our shores and we're closing the border
There is a jungle and it's over the water
There is a jungle and it's over the water
under the canopy lie mothers and daughters
and fathers and sons, fleeing the slaughter
There is a jungle...
