i felt so safe, sleeping by the bear cave
and the honey he brought me kept me warm
the morning dew glistened while he danced for me
while i ate the honey
funny bear
you make my heart melt
last winter seemed like it lasted forever
and the frost froze off my toes
he carried me in some spring water, and cloves
i kissed him on his big old nose
i felt so good, laying there and dying
the comfort he gave me was irreplaceable
then i heard the hounds
he buried me in some cedar and pine needles
i could hear him climbing the big oak tree
the baying of the hounds must have lasted a hundred years
and i was still alive
so was he
then you came
you took out a pellet rifle
you started shooting my friend
you started shooting my friend
the excitement of the hounds grew
the hair on their backs stood on end
so did mine
so did his
why did you shoot my friend with that air rifle?
why did you shoot my friend 23 times?
i was laying there listening when he fell
when the dogs jumped on him, at your command
i listened while your dogs tore my friend to shreds
my friend didn't even make a sound
he was a good bear
such a good bear
he didn't bother anyone, and would have given the hide off his back
but you killed my friend and took his hide off his back
you killed my friend
you killed my friend!
you let your dogs tear him apart
================================
i can still see you dancing
funny bear
you saved me from freezing last winter
my toes even grew back!
thank you, my friend
your warmth and love has kept me alive
the things you taught me will help me forever
will you please dance with me?
