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
