Many thanks to everyone for their wonderful contributions. From Andy's driving bass and Mark's thumping drums to George's powerful vocal interpretation of the lyrics and Jay's crazy synth solo and accompanying keys. A massive thank you to everyone.

The Wildebeest - Michael Woodford (c) 2019
Intro
Verse 1
Savanna’s dry, nothing to eat
New mouths to feed, a hungry bleat
A look around just one last check
The Wildebeest begin their trek
At first a gentle trot they make
The sun is high so much at stake
And then the call to race is made
No fear, not one of them afraid
Chorus
The Wildebeest, heads held high
Gallop on their way
The Wildebeest, heads held high
Verse 2
Lions wait along the way
To ambush their unwary prey
The weak fall victim to the hungry pride
The strong race on so dignified
Along the Serengeti’s western corridor
To Maasai Mara, first a carrefour
Which way to turn, a choice to make
It really doesn’t matter, which direction they take
Bridge
Solo
Bridge
Chorus
The Wildebeest, heads held high
Gallop on their way
The Wildebeest, heads held high
Verse 3
The Mara River must be crossed
Where many comrades will be lost
The Wildebeest they have no fear
Their only goal to persevere
And once they gain the upper hand
They gallop to the promised land
The grass is fresh, plenty to eat
New mouths to feed, contented bleats
Chorus/Outro
The Wildebeest, heads held high
Gallop on their way
The Wildebeest, heads held high
