Will you meet me in the jungle Near the trees that they sawed off I'll be waiting 'till you find me Wipe away your tears and blood Maybe you could take me home Leave the past we have behind Make me flow into the sun Take me with you and free my mind We'll go high to the sky You and i when we die From the bottom of the jungle Only you and i survived I've been dreaming of you down here Just don't break my hungry heart Be the one to set me free Every time i give up on live I won't leave your all-knowing eyes We'll go high to the sky You and i when we die Don't you cry, not tonight Angels' eyes see the light We'll go high to the sky You and i when we die If you wanna go Take me along with you Don't you wanna know What you and i could do, ooh... We'll go high to the sky You and i when we die
