about

Spoken like a father to his daughter, this song is about the horrors of civil unrest and refugee displacement.

lyrics

We've got lullabies in the jungle
We've got lullabies in the field
Calm yourself sing low little one
Before that lullaby get you killed
We've got lullabies in the jungle
We've got lullabies in the field
Calm yourself sing low little one
Before that lullaby get you killed

With only our eyes showing
I swear the moon is beaming on us
Gotta keep moving cuz they're gaining on us
And if they catch up bullets are raining on us
Lord you will shelter me
You said you will, don't let me die alone
He said, everyone dies alone
I don't want no problems man
Not looking for no problems man
So please get off my land
I don't think you understand why we're here
He said, I came here with a thousand friends
I don't think you understand
Kalashnikov in hand
They got us on the run, now we're on the run

We've got lullabies in the jungle
We've got lullabies in the field
Ease yourself, calm yourself sing low little one
Before that lullaby get you killed
We've got lullabies in the jungle
We've got lullabies in the field
Calm yourself sing low little one
Before that lullaby get you killed

Maybe I should stay and fight him
Then I look down at my baby daughter
Don't even have time to get myself in order
I got my whole family running for the border
Lord you will shelter me
You said you will, don't let us die alone
He said, everyone dies alone

A different type of pain
Displacement, a different type of rain
Guns aimed at your children by children
That'll leave a grown man defenseless
It's senseless
My heart's tattered and torn
Because I pulled it over barbed wire fences

Oh We've got lullabies in the jungle
We've got lullabies in the field
Calm yourself sing low little one
Before that lullaby get you killed
We've got lullabies in the jungle
We've got lullabies in the field
Ease yourself sing calm little one
Before that lullaby get you killed
