Pat and Donna surface recorded a song written exclusively for Lynn Rogers.

This video is a sneak preview made for Lynn and for all the fans to enjoy. Please keep in mind, this is NOT the sound track, it is a demo track. The sound track will be recorded by the Boundary Water Boys with all the instruments and harmonies. It will be coming in the spring...with the bears. :)

We (admin) asked if this could shared with the fans and even though it is not a final version, they agreed. Quite unusual for an artist to agree to share their unfinished work!

Pat and Donna are strong supporters of the research and the bears. This is quite an honor for Lynn.

THE BEAR WALKER – ONE STEP AT A TIME
Pat Surface © 2011 Spiritwood Music/BMI

INSTRUMENTAL INTRO

Verse
Mountains of truth – forests of pine
Rivers of knowledge – one step at a time
He brings Hope to the world
As his legend climbs
He’s the Bear Walker – one step at a time

Bridge
Somewhere between Hope and despair
He re-writes the story of the American bear
And as we glimpse ourselves
In the eyes of the wild
Innocence returns - like the heart of a child

Verse 2
So walk in the wind with a fire in your heart
Live and breathe and know you’re a part
If the wild could speak
What would they cry?
You tell their stories
One step at a time

BRIDGE INSTRUMENTAL

Bridge 2
Somewhere between Hope and despair
He re-writes the story of the American bear
And as we glimpse ourselves
In the eyes of the wild
Innocence returns - like the heart of a child

Verse 1 Repeats
Mountains of truth – forests of pine
Rivers of knowledge – one step at a time
He brings Hope to the world
As his legend climbs
He’s the Bear Walker – one step at a time

Message from Pat and Donna Surface:
It is not just about bears - it is about connecting to something so much greater than ourselves that in the face of that - or as Pat writes - 'as we glimpse ourselves in the eyes of the wild...' we are profoundly and forever changed. Suddenly each breath we take is in sync with Creation - and thus with the Creator...

    • Diane Moore Thank you for posting the lyrics...they are so beautiful! "If the wild could speak, What would they cry? You tell their stories, One step at a time"...just ask our little Hope. I wonder what she would say about "Somewhere between Hope and despair" and "He brings Hope to the world." How perfectly her name fits what she has been through, and has given all of us. Thank you Pat and Donna.

      It breaks my heart and I shed tears to see this. It tells me this is how life could be and should be. Many have chosen to set aside the gifts God has given us to instead ravage and destroy these precious gifts. We as a society have not look...ed at the big picture and not protect our precious resources. I pray more people see this and put a stop to all this craziness and follow the lead of Doc Lynn and Sue and the others that have chosen a path the real native americans were on. Preserve, protect and take only what a single person needs. God Bless these special people in their work and God Bless this country for future generations.Mehr anzeigen
