Under the Emerald Canopy

In the heart of Mato Grosso beneath the emerald canopy
I wandered where the roots twist a child of mystery
With a blade by my side and wonder in my eyes
Uncharted paths before me beneath the vast blue skies

The chorus of Bem-te-vi their songs fill the air
Iguanas in their cradle life thriving everywhere
Blue-stained grass beneath my feet the jungle's soft embrace
A world alive with magic in this wild enchanted place

Along the forest floor a bustling tiny throng
Leaf cutters in procession a silent steady song
Their jaws carve through the green a harvest dance of ants
In the quiet I listen chattering jaws made trance

The chorus of Bem-te-vi their songs fill the air
Iguanas in their cradle life thriving everywhere
Blue-stained grass beneath my feet the jungle's soft embrace
A world alive with magic in this wild enchanted place

The air is thick with whispers of leaves and life unseen
Each step unfolds a story where few have ever been
In this kingdom of the small where every life is grand
I found my fearless spirit with a machete in my hand

The chorus of Bem-te-vi their songs fill the air
Iguanas in their cradle life thriving everywhere
Blue-stained grass beneath my feet the jungle's soft embrace
A world alive with magic in this wild enchanted place

Friday night city lights glow atop the distant hills
At the end of the season we rode bikes chased by thrills
Childhood friends and memories the adventures we'd enjoy
A treasure trove of secrets rare adventures boundless joy

The chorus of Bem-te-vi their songs fill the air
Iguanas in their cradle life thriving everywhere
Blue-stained grass beneath my feet the jungle's soft embrace
A world alive with magic in this wild enchanted place

From the rainforests to cerrado
In this wild enchanted place
