The Stallion roams wild and free,
Strong, brave and handsome is he.
Wanted by the mountain folk,
Impossible! What a joke!
In the bush he loves to go,
Freedom's his, where tall gums grow.
Mane sways gently in the light.
Before too long, he takes flight.
Taking shelter in the bush,
The helicopter comes and 'whoosh'!
The Stallion bolts and runs free,
He will NOT be mustered you see.
Rare beauty never seen before,
He stands tall, his beauty raw.
If you're lucky, you might see,
The Stallion roaming wild and free.
