Jungle Lyrics

A hundred years ago

Where the city scrapes the sky

There's a hole 70 floors deep

Where the dreams of builders lie

They say an old man sketched a tower

Glass and steel to kiss the stars

But rules bent back like restless branches

Time left a scar Time left a scar

The city hums and quakes and scatters

Four floors high it hides the pain

Here's a wound that never healed

And in this wound the wild remains

The rainforest sings where his skyscraper fell

Where the people stood

The trees rebel

The rainforest sings where his skyscraper fell

Where the people stood

The trees rebel

Ortigas roars with a restless tide

Edsa's glow is a fractured line

The richest dream in their gilded cages

But this corner breathes outside of time of time!

I was ten when we took our stand

Thirty voices one demand

We stopped a giant a giant

And left this jungle we left this jungle

The rainforest sings where his skyscraper fell

Where the people stood

The trees rebel

The rainforest sings where his skyscraper fell

Where the people stood

The trees rebel

A century later the city forgot

But the roots push harder leaves don't rot

Who was right who was wrong—does it even matter

The sweetest air lives

Where the pavement

Shatters

The rainforest sings where his skyscraper fell

Where the people stood

the trees rebel

Were we wrong were we right?

All I know is

The forest

Survives

The rainforest sings where his skyscraper fell

Where the people stood

The trees rebel

Where the people stood

The trees rebel
