Never been out of the jungle
never seen another human being
outside your tribe
yor into the vibe
of nature

Patience of nature
you like to watch trees grow
you don't care for helicopters
beetles in the sky so                                   Altitude
                                                                   is a barrier
                                                                    in Ecuadoran hills
Patience of nature                                       only
the stream's for you a mirror                       Ecuadoran woman
patience of nature                                        is a carrier
each tree that grow's for food                      Spanish experience ills

Never seen                                                    Altitude is a barrier
never been                                                     its rude to invade
never in between                                           it happens for centuries
always kept apart                                           not just for decade
with yor clay pipe dart                                   its in how the people
its the art                                                        there are made  
in being at                                                      those not acclimatised
the forest's heart                                             just fade

                                                                       And so the Spanish delayed
Patience of nature                                           childless and dismayed
and you can study every leaf                          Altitude is a barrier 
you seem to know individualy                        Ecuadorans made the grade
everything that's brief                                      because with lungs were paid
                                                                         Altitude altitude
                                                                          altitude a barrier
Never seen                                                        against being made
never been
in the open air                                                   If you go up hills
you like the green leaf air                                 face yor ills
you like to stay in there                                    for altitude kills
never seen                                                         those not born into it
never been                                                         they don't fit
into the outside world                                        don't sit well with them
you have the patience of nature                         Altitude is a barrier
you like not to unfurl.                                        don't matter much amen
                                                                           when altitude is a barrier
                                                                            no Spanish child carriers then.
