Long before mankind
Came down the plains of Africa
And over the mountains from the sea

The quagga vast domain was at peace
And all the world around him let him be

Then when mankind
Made his way to Africa
The quagga could be seen against the Sun

But looking the dawning of these times
Look in vain till the sunset is gone
He is gone

So save the mountain zebra
Don’t let him vanish in the mist
Let him stand bold on his high stronghold
Leave him be
Free

Now as mankind
Sets his roots in Africa
He makes up for the crime
That has been done

Now in his rugged cloudy home
The mountain zebra stands against the sun
Against the Sun

So save the mountain zebra
Don’t let him vanish in the mist
Let him stand bold on his high stronghold
Leave him be
Free

So save the mountain zebra
Don’t let him vanish in the mist
Let him stand bold on his high stronghold
Leave him be
Free
