[Verse] You wake where the black pines lean Snow on your muzzle, frost on your sleeve The creek keeps time beneath the ice You follow its crooked advice [Pre-Chorus] Your den is warm, the ridge is steep The whole wide winter holds its breath [Chorus] Bear, keep your name beneath the mountain Keep your heart slow as the thaw When the spring runs down the ravine You will rise and answer the call [Outro] One pawprint fills with rain
