Lost In the Jungle

Story Behind The Song

: This song has a double meaning....1 of the meanings is How we can get caught up in a world of lying, cheating, especially pertaining to the entertainment industry/ Hollywood life. All that glitters is not necessarily gold. And this song was a general description about people I know that have gotten caught up in the bubble. They lost themselves once they made a lot of money. They forgot their church roots/ values/ the people they loved. They disposed of everyone that cared about them. They got caught up in self, also lost the good people in their lives because they made wrong decisions in their "fake/ superficial" world. The other meaning could be how sex can lure you in for all the wrong reasons, when you are already committed to someone. Its about "be careful and don't get caught up in someone's looks, attraction, cheating on the one you love because of this sexy beautiful person you are attracted to. Don't get caught up in the moment. Basically it's the O.P.P copncept. The other woman's pussy is very tempting...seduction is dangerous. Once you go there, there's no coming back from the wrong doing. You may lose the love of your life, family, children, etc....because of making the wrong decision to sleep with someone else.

Lyrics

Verse: Preacher says I have the soul of a winner
But Why do I feel like I'm losing in this game
He told me not to give up hope not ever
But the strength in me has gone away

Preacher says I have the heart of a lion
But honestly I'm not feeling very bold
In fact I'm feeling very worn and oh so tired
Preacherman pray for my broken soul

HOOK: Lost in the Jungle better watch your back
Or you'll fall right through the cracks
Lost in the Jungle better watch your back
Cause it's a trap (you better watch out) ...repeat

Swing it......ooh

Verse 2: I went and told the Preacher of my worries
Asked him to pray for courage to see me through
I've done my share paid many duties
Out of my hands into His, make due
Today I told the Preacher that I'm finally giving in
Let go, Letting God take full control
I've never felt this good bout' my decisions
Preacherman you helped my soul be whole (again and again)

HOOK: Lost In the jungle Better watch your back
Or you'll fall right through the cracks
Lost in the Jungle better watch your back
Cause it's a trap (you better watch out) ....repeat

Bridge: I'm all alone I'm trying to maintain
But I don't know who to trust hereafter
Built up this wall to shelter me from pain
Heavy in my heart, how can I get back my joy and laughter

Hook: 2 times

Break: You better watch out, you better not doubt
Don't let the jungle take a hold of you
Repeat 3 times....again and again

Hook: 4 times

Adlib at end......doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo dooo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Ahhh Ahhhhh
