Life, don't give it away
Were snakes crawl and rain falls
 To keep going or to go back.
 
 We all have many decisions to make
 Mine was in a jungle near a lake. 
 
 The thing we come to love, life
 The thing we take for granted, life.
 
 A frog like a butterfly
 A bird a flower in the jungle, life. 
 
 To not waste away
 To not be afraid, life.
 
 To not walk away
 To make mistakes, life.
 
 To get out of a cage
 To tackle a tiger full of rage, life.
 
 To make the best of what you have 
 Or to throw it in the trash, life.
 
 To smell the green
 To hear the green, life.
 
 To follow nature in a race
 Or to back down and look away, life.
 
 To run with large cats
 And to fly with bats, life.
 
 I choose the jungle way
 I’m moving forward today.
