Winter Sleep, Spring Awake
Snug within a mountain cave
I dream of catching fish
Brr! Can still feel this cold wave
For warmer climes I wish
While it's snowing hard outside
I sleep and snore and dream
Throughout winter, here I hide
Away from frozen stream
But one who sleeps has to rise
In that beautiful spring
Refreshed, I'll open my eyes
What joy that time will bring!
I'll swim, jump and play once more
And catch a lot of fish
Revitalized to the core
Spring is my fulfilled wish
I'm a fuzzy wuzzy bear
In hibernation sleep
Soon winter will go elsewhere
And I'll get up and leap
Waiting eagerly for spring
When I'll become active
Once again, the big, brown king
I'll join my friends and live
