The Awakening of Beorn the Bear

mp3

 

This is not a song

it’s just the word

of a sleepy bear awondering

of a night

 

What was it in my slumber

that I heard

like music in my ears

if they still serve me right

 

Could have

sworn I heard someone sing

though it's far too frosty for spring

well, at least I can be certain of

this one thing:

no birds

 

The frozen trees ashiver

on the hill

and moonlit snow on all I see

so gracefully agleam

 

Who was it then awoke me

from my slumber still

said Beorn

this is not the time

nor place to dream

 

Who said

Wake up sleepy bear

get up and greet what's a-coming here

and that sleep right out of those

big brown eyes

and rise


‘Twas the song of a wondrous star

shining her beckoning light

harmonies calling my name from afar

tonight

 

Sleepy soul, it's time to come home

 

Wonderful wilderness open your eyes

Heed this mysterious call

Gather the dreams you have harbored

and rise up all

 

Sleepy souls, it's time to come home

 

Sleepy souls, it's time to come home
