I tuck my joey in my pouch,

as I am slowly hopping back to my home

I hear a sudden squeal, the hunters are near

I must travel quickly as my joey's life is in great danger

One hunter sees me,

I can't waste any more time  

My legs are moving as fast as lightning

but the hunters are not far behind

I spot something in front, it is a cave big enough for me to fit but too small for the hunters

I'm in the cave now, the hunters are gone, me and my joey are safe

I watch the stars fall from the sky, the sun's gone and the night's here

Another day gone.
