He lives all alone but the bamboo forest knows him Now his land is taken by man he's got nowhere left to go When he used to roam through all of China's mountains It was his home--the only place he knows He was born on the mountain's Eastern side Where the sun brings the morning to the sky In the snow the human hunters hide A shot is heard but no one hears him cry Oh Panda Bear--my gentle friend I don't want to say goodby Oh Panda Bear--when will the killing end When will we see the light? He can feel the night, the last sunset is in his eyes They will carry him away, take his beauty for their prize Ah, but hunger would have come when the bamboo forest died Oh Panda Bear--you can't seem to win No matter how hard you try Oh Panda Bear--my gentle friend I don't want to say goodbye Now his body lies on the mountain's Western side He was sold to a man whose money has no pride Shining fur traded for gold but the price is too high His kind is almost gone He wants to survive He was born on the mountain's Eastern side Where the sun brings the morning to the sky If we will try to share that morning light We will find that we all have the right to life Oh Panda Bear--my gentle friend I don't want to say goodbye Oh Panda Bear--when will the killing end When will we get it right?
