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 goodbye   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?
