Bear welcomes the fleeing animals to his home, The Cave.

lyrics

BEAR

I was born here, I live here
And have with great pleasure
For ten thousand years
This home is my treasure

I have laughed here, I have played here
Along with my friends
For life we are ready.
So let it begin!

I know of a place
Where love will arrive
Where life will go on
And laughter survive!

This cave was our haven
Our hearth and our bed
The full moon at night
Was our watchman we said

But then comes this dryness
This swirling of smoke
This near death of breath
This yearning to choke

I know of a place
I've said to my kin
My friends and my nation
Where breath is no sin
