[English]

In the jungle that we roam

To search and find and to explore

All we, all we all know

All we, all we don't know

Pushing back, remove the leaves

To find something bigger than me

All we, all we all know

All we, all we don't know

So far so good

So don't turn back

So far so good

It's been hard

Trying to find the best of it

I'm always hung up on the risk

Don't over think about

it's hard

When all that's left is rearranged

And everything is in the way

Don't over think about it

Don't over think about it

...

If I think too hard and never leave

I'll watch the world turn without me

All we, all we all know

All we, all we don't know

To hide from lions and the wolves

Would never break the fears we hold

All we, all we all know

All we, all we don't know

So far so good

So don't turn back

So far so good

It's been hard

Trying to find the best of it

I'm always hung up on the risk

Don't over think about

it's hard

When all that's left is rearranged

And everything is in the way

Don't over think about it

Don't over think about it

...

So far so good

So don't turn back

So far so good

So far so good

So don't turn back

So far so good

So far so good

So don't turn back

So far so good

So far so good

So don't turn back

So far so good

It's been hard

Trying to find the best of it

I'm always hung up on the risk

Don't over think about

it's hard

When all that's left is rearranged

And everything is in the way

Don't over think about it

...

Don't over think about it

...

Don't over think about it

...
