Under Kilimanjaro she guards her young
C
And she speaks to the darkness in the mother tongue
C
She waits and she watches all night long
C
Calls to her lover and she sings this song
CHORUS:

I will be there for you whatever comes
F G Am
I am as constant as the beat of drums
F
My love is stronger than the noonday sun

Between love and money, between pride and sin

We are just wild things underneath the skin

It's the law of the jungle, it's the ancient truth

Live by the senses, baby, die by the tooth

But I would walk through fire, I would swim the sea

Long as I live and breathe, you belong to me
