in the back of a cave in the dark, dark woods
there's a man
there's an animal
who sits in place, doesn't show his face to the sun
he has connections
but no intention of living up to his obligations
he'd rather sleep for six months at a time
wake up! wake up from your sleep!
the sun is shining and the insects creep
how long has it been since you told your family you love them?
you have life to live and mouths to feed
but the bear replies:
"this is what i need!
it's the only place i can get a moment alone"
sometimes we can all use a moment of peace
a respite from the world where we can find some release
don't let your solitary nature take control
and hide yourself in a darkened hole
people need you, and they complete you
so find your way back soon back to the sun
wake up! wake up from your sleep!
the sun is shining and the insects creep
how long has it been since you told your family you love them?
you have miles to cross and promises to keep
but the bear replies:
"this is what i need!
it's the only place i can get a moment alone"
