lyrics

I wandered through the woods last night
and was startled by a monstrous roving bear
I froze in fear, but to my surprise
He drew my hand and pressed me to his side

And we stood there, only breathing
‘Til my panic finally subsided
And I gathered all my courage
To look up into his eyes

And he is not so terrible
He is not so terrible
He is not so terrible as it seems

He showed me in his humble cave
Pulled up a chair and offered me some tea
Then three young cubs huddled in
The smallest one he placed upon his knee

And they think him something vicious
But they have not seen his face
When he’s playing with his children
Or just how joyful his gait

Oh he is not so terrible
He is not so terrible
He is not so terrible as it seems

We nestled in to go to sleep
In strong protective stance he clutched me near
But in the last eve’s fleeting light
I glimpsed his visage, bound and worn by fear

And now sleeping in the bear’s den
You’d think I was out of my mind
But if you come close as I have
I am certain you’d find

That he is not so terrible
He is not so terrible
He is not so terrible as it seems
