i am the mother bear riding the storm in the cave where my cubs were born
trying to give them a better shot at life than the hunter that took both of theirs
and i feel like a failure, failure is my new best friend
i am watching the pictures on the cave walls
reading the stories that are already set in stone
i wish i could change the past but i know that i won’t
so tonight i sleep alone
i am the mother bear riding the storm in the cave where my cubs were born
i’ve been told that the hunter will be proud of them
he’ll bring them inside his home and show them to his friends
he’ll tell stories about them
and maybe he’ll watch them grow
and maybe he’ll watch them grow
i hope he’ll watch them grow and i know that he won’t
i know that i won’t
and maybe he'll watch them grow
and maybe he'll watch them grow
i hope he'll watch them grow and i know that he won't
i know that he won't
i am the mother bear riding the storm in the cave where my cubs were born
i am the mother bear, i am the mother bear
and tonight i sleep alone
