                          A ship had travelled far from 'cross the sea
                           And man stepped forth upon this island shore

                           One hundred years have passed, now here I be
                           Last of my kind, alone, the rest no more
                           The sands of time run dry to lay my egg
                           There's nothing in this life I would not give
                           Appealing to his nature I would beg
                           I'd give my life so next in line could live
                           The other's died with hope within their hearts
                           And dreamed a future they could not foresee
                           When nature intervenes and life restarts
                           Their hopes and aspirations die with me
                           Now here I lay, death rising on the brink
                           As clubs swing down, the Dodo's now extinct
