[The Law of the Jungle] [Verse 1: Male Vocals] Found in a wicker basket where the river meets the sand, Bagheera saw a life that he had never really planned. Beneath the Seeonee moonlight he was raised within the pack, A man-cub with no road to ever lead his spirit back. [Pre-Chorus 1: Female Vocals] The wild is older than the law we keep, While the hunters wake and all the elders sleep. [Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet] We search for the place where we truly belong, Where the heartbeat is steady and the purpose is strong. It isn't the blood or the roots of our past, But building a love that is destined to last. [Verse 2: Female Vocals] Through King Louie’s ruins where the ancient stone is white, He learned the laws of hunting in the deep and velvet night. He slipped through Kaa’s cold coils and the hunger in her gaze, While Baloo kept him steady in the green and emerald maze. [Pre-Chorus 2: Male Vocals] The shadows stretch and call out for his name, The woods are not prepared to hold the flame. [Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet] The home that we find isn't always the start, It’s the rhythm of kindness inside of a heart. We walk through the darkness to find our own path, Beyond all the sorrow and Shere Khan’s wrath. [Instrumental Break - Melodic Piano Solo and Warm Strings] [Bridge 1: Male and Female Duet] The Water Truce was broken by the scarred eye's heavy greed, Shere Khan demanded every soul and every wolf should bleed. Old Akela stood his ground upon the Council Rock, But the tiger swore to break the spirit of the flock. [Verse 3: Male Vocals] He seized the burning wood as the Red Flower bloomed, The tiger turned and fled before he was entirely consumed. He dropped the torch to prove his heavy soul was finally free, Using human wit so every wolf in Seeonee could see. [Pre-Chorus 3: Female Vocals] The river is wide and the current is swift, Through trials where the heavy spirits shift. [Chorus 3: Male and Female Duet] The courage to stand for the ones that you love, Is written in stars in the canopy above. It’s more than a pack or a village of stone, It’s the strength that you find when you’re out on your own. [Bridge 2: Male and Female Duet] The jungle sang a lullaby of days of old, As stories of the man-cub would at once unfold. With family of brothers standing loyal by his side, He watched the village fires from across the river tide. [Verse 4: Female Vocals] The tiger fell to embers in the fading summer heat, The story of the man-cub was at last made complete. He looked back at Bagheera and the silver dreaming stream, Then walked into the village like a figure in a dream. [Pre-Chorus 4: Male Vocals] The transition is heavy and the road is new, The soul of the wild is still beating in you. [Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet] True belonging is found in the heart of the brave, In the lives that we touch and the souls that we save. It doesn't matter where the journey began, It’s the love that you hold and the shape of the man. [Outro: Male and Female Duet] The wicker basket's gone now, washed away by winter rain, But the law of the Seeonee will always remain. Across the muddy bank where the two worlds finally collide, He walks into the future with the spirit as his guide.
