Verse 1
Fourteen thousand winters walked this land
We crossed the water and we took our stand
Red are the warriors who held the line
The peaceful ones wore white in older times
Pre-Chorus
We wait for the sun to rise
Out of the cold dark night
We wait for the morning light
To warm us
Chorus
I am the Burning Bear
Watch me glow
I am the Burning Bear
Set the fire free now watch me go
Burning on for eternity
Burn burn burn
(Yeah)
Post-Chorus
Na na na na
Na na na na
Burn burn burn
(Yeah)
Verse 2
Eighteen nineteen they drew a paper line
Handed to the head men across the nation
Where Burningtown Creek meets the Tennessee
That is where my people used to be
Pre-Chorus
We wait for the sun to rise
Out of the cold dark night
We wait for the morning light
To carry us home
Chorus
I am the Burning Bear
Watch me glow
I am the Burning Bear
Set the fire free now watch me go
Burning on for eternity
Burn burn burn
(Yeah)
Post-Chorus
Na na na na
Na na na na
Burn burn burn
(Yeah)
Bridge
From the land of Cherokee
Sacred fire still burns in me
From Yellow Bear on down the line
Spent my life looking for a spirit sign
Chorus
I am the Burning Bear
Watch me glow
I am the Burning Bear
Set the fire free now watch me go
Burning on for eternity
Burn burn burn
(Yeah)
Post-Chorus
Na na na na
Na na na na
Burn burn burn
(Yeah)
