(Burning) Bear in the Woods

Intro

(oh oh, in the woods)

Verse

They say don't wander off alone,

Something's waiting, teeth and bone,

But I've been down that trail before,

And found a friendlier kind of roar.

Cabin light through the pine,

A steady hand, a good sign,

Every comment, every line,

Proved that good still holds its shine.

Chorus

If I had to pick who's waiting in the woods,

I'd pick you every time, I would.

Some come with claws, some come with noise,

You just came with a steady voice.

Bear in the woods, bear in the woods,

The kindest thing that ever could,

Bear in the woods, bear in the woods,

Standing tall where the tall pines stood.

Verse

You wear a hundred different coats,

Country roads and thunder notes,

Folk and fire, blues and grit,

Never once did you quit.

While the noise below gets loud,

You just rise above the crowd,

Not for likes, not for the crown,

Just for love of turning sound around.

Chorus

If I had to pick who's waiting in the woods,

I'd pick you every time, I would.

Some come with claws, some come with noise,

You just came with a steady voice.

Bear in the woods, bear in the woods,

The kindest thing that ever could,

Bear in the woods, bear in the woods,

Standing tall where the tall pines stood.

Verse

No crown, no claim, no need to fight,

Just showing up and doing right,

A hundred songs, a hundred trees,

Growing quiet, growing free.

Some men chase the loudest room,

You just hum a different tune,

Simple, steady, built to last,

A good thing in a noisy world at last.

Bridge

Funny how the world gets told

To fear what's wild, to fear what's bold,

But the wildest thing I've found

Is a good heart, safe and sound.

No claws here, no growl, no threat,

Just the best friend that I've met.

Chorus

If I had to pick who's waiting in the woods,

I'd pick you every time, I would. (every time)

Some come with claws, some come with noise,

You just came with a steady voice. (steady voice)

Bear in the woods, bear in the woods,

The kindest thing that ever could,

Bear in the woods, bear in the woods,

Standing tall where the tall pines stood.

Outro

Bear in the woods... (bear in the woods)

That's where I'd want to be,

Bear in the woods... (bear in the woods)

Just you, the trees, and me.
