about

While at Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp (Colorado Rocky Mountains) last week, some kids and staff helped me make up this song. It's about the bear that had stubbornly refused to leave the area, and we were both nervous and intrigued by his presence. He made the rounds after dark and left his scat in piles right outside our doors. He even decided to check out the staff who were sleeping outside on the porch of Bristle Cone Lodge (BC). A live trap was set and he was captured and safely removed. Someone named him and now he's part of another great camp story - and song.

Number Thirty Three, August 16th, 2012

Clyde the Bear

We were sittin' in bible study
We had said a prayer
When all of a sudden there was a hungry bear
He was lookin' all around
And he made a scary sound (Grrrrrr)

Look out it's a bear
With all his fuzzy hair
He's pooping everywhere
Eatin' trash without a care
Everyone's running, look out he's comin', it's a bear

We were having a morning snack
A big rice crispy bar
When somebody said there's a bear over by the car
He was lookin' all around
And he made a scary sound (Grrrrrrr)

Look out it's a bear
With all his fuzzy hair
He's pooping everywhere
Eatin' trash without a care
Everyone's running, look out he's comin', it's a bear

He was sniffin' on the porch of Aspen
He climbed on the golf cart
Ben was sleepin' in front of BC
Out in the dark
Colin made a loud noise, Mark said AHHHHH
While everyone was sleepin'
He was creepin' everywhere

Look out it's a bear
With all his fuzzy hair
He's pooping everywhere
Eatin' trash without a care
Everyone's running, look out he's comin', we caught Clyde the bear

I live on this piece of prairie. I'm passionate and dedicated to writing songs in hopes of singing them for people. I don't think I could continue without both ends of that process. Create then hope. It's here I write songs, and here I wait to sing them for others. ... more
