I wait till everyone's asleep Then out into the night I creep No one can see me now Or hear me running, soundlessly The moon's the only light I need To search for food, young ones to feed But as the dawn is drawing near the earth, my way's not clear I'm trapped on the outside Moonlight save me, moonlight save me Moonlight save me, moonlight save me Unearthly fear, it grips my skin Unearthly sound, the hunt begins I hear excited cries But dare not look from where I'm hiding The multi-coloured humans ride Soon they will find me where I hide The brown and white tormentors Begin to howl and then I'm running Moonlight save me I cut across the trail I left five miles before One chance to throw them off my scent but I'm not sure An elder told me it had worked sometime before My heart is beating like a drum I make the ridge, but can't go on I turn to face my death But nothing comes to stop me breathing Down in the clearing now I see They're searching all around for me Confusion everywhere But I am safe up here, I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won
