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

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

                                               F C 
It's a force of nature, it's the power of need 
                                                   F C 
Love will heal you, baby, and it'll make you bleed 
                                           F C 
But I will be patient, I will bide my time 
                                   F C 
I will be waiting like a mama lion

Between love and money, between pride and sin 
                             F 
We are just wild things underneath the skin 
       G                          F              Csus4 
In the cradle of creation we were made this way 
                        F            C   Cadd9 F C   Cadd9 C 
Bound together 'til our dying day_____ 


                                                   F C 
It's the law of the jungle, it's the ancient truth 
                                           F C 
Live by the senses, baby, die by the tooth 
                                                    F C 
But I would walk through fire, I would swim the sea 
                                             F C 
Long as I live and breathe, you belong to me
