[Verse] Great bear hibernate Buried under leaves Dead in all but breath Alone in isolation [Verse] Beneath the snow and frost Under ice You sleep [Chorus] You emerge from darkness You emerge from the cave Great bear stronger and wise [Verse] So alone in that cave That dark cave With none to hear Your cries [Verse] How did you make it With none to help you None to care for you But yourself [Verse] You hibernate In your grave Your sacred cave Your temple [instrumental- electric guitar solo with bass notes] "Like a bear emerging from hibernation, awaken to new possibilities." [Outro – Spoken/Sung, slow and low over fading guitar] Woke up slow… but now I see The weight is gone, a better me Out the dark, no need to turn Eyes wide open… toward the sun "The bear's strength lies not in its muscles, but in its indomitable spirit."
