It is a lovely warm up song that you can sing together before the story of Bear Wants More.
The bear went over the mountain, (Mountain: Standing tall and perfectly still, eyes can be open or closed, breathing steady. We are immovable like mountains.)
the bear went over the mountain,
the bear went over the mountain,
to see what she could see.
And all that she could see,
and all that she could see,
was the other side of the mountain,
the other side of the mountain,
the other side of the mountain,
was all that she could see.
The bear went across the river, (River: Sitting up tall, legs out long in front of you. Point your toes and place your hands behind your bottom with your finger pointing towards your bottom. Lift up your hips)
the bear went across the river,
the bear went across the river,
to see what she could see.
And all that she could see,
and all that she could see,
was the other side of the river,
the other side of the river,
the other side of the river,
was all that she could see.
The bear went through the forest, (Tree: Standing tall, place the heel of your foot on top of the other. Bring your hands together at your heart and grow your branches up tall)
the bear went through the forest,
the bear went through the forest,
to see what she could see.
And all that she could see,
and all that she could see,
was the other side of the forest,
the other side of the forest,
the other side of the forest,
was all that she could see.
The bear climbed up the big tree,(Climbing: Standing tall, using opposite arm to leg we climb up)
the bear climbed up the big tree,
the bear climbed up the big tree,
to see what she could see.
And all that she could see,
and all that she could see,
was the forest, river, and mountain,
the forest, river, and mountain,
the forest, river, and mountain,
was all that she could see.
Was all that she could see.
