Yeah!
We
are
moving
to
the
forest
today
Can
you
see
them?
Way
up
high!
Let’
s
go!
Look
at
the
pine
trees
reaching
for
the
blue
sky
Standing
so
tall,
touching
clouds
way
up
high
But
there
is
a
secret
hiding
in
the
green
leaves
A
mischievous
dancer
that
nobody
believes
He
thinks
he
is
safe
in
the
heights
of
the
crown
But
the
hunters
are
waiting
right
here
on
the
ground
Oh
the
pine
is
a
giant,
the
wood
is
so
strong
But
he
won’
t
be
hiding
there
for
very
long

The
branches
are
swaying,
the
climber
is
fast
He
thinks
that
this
freedom
is
meant
to
last
But
he
doesn’
t
know
the
Bemba
spirit
is
near
We
have
no
shadow,
we
have
no
fear
The
forest
is
calling,
the
rhythm
is
tight
We
track
him
all
day
until
the
falling
of
night
It
is
the
tradition,
it
is
the
way
The
monkey
is
coming
down
today

Keep
on
climbing,
keep
on
shaking
the
tree
But
you
cannot
escape
from
the
Bemba
decree
The
relish
is
ready,
the
pot
is
on
fire
We
take
what
we
want
when
the
stakes
get
higher
It
is
a
celebration,
a
dance
in
the
heat
With
the
drums
and
the
rhythm
moving
our
feet
No
tree
is
too
tall,
no
climb
is
too
steep
When
the
harvest
is
calling
for
us
to
keep

Yeah,
back
to
the
ground!
It
is
the
flavor,
the
traditional
way!
Dance
for
me
now!
