The Honorable Waking Bear

Waking bear woke early one spring
Hungry, for food, hungry for mating and hungry to sing
Waking bear seen many seasons, knew there were only so many he would see

He could feed on salmon, he could feed on berries
He could run the fields free
He could make some babies with the ladies
He could nap away the days

But rather waking bear climbed to the highest peak
Overlooking the kingdom to yell and sing
May we all tune our hearts to this frequency

Waking bear danced all day and night
He hugged the earth and looked to the sky
He was too loved to be afraid
Never again would he hibernate

Waking bear now skips in time
Waking bear sings for us
So we may remember love divine
Together we lift each other up

And so waking bear climbed to the highest peak
Overlooking the kingdom to yell and sing
May we all tune our hearts to this frequency
