Spinoza Bear: "Do You Wonder?"

SPINOZA
Hi. I'm Spinoza. I'm a bear who talks, and what do you like to do? You do? Well I like being with you. I have a song to sing. The name of my song is I Wonder. Well, here it goes. Sing along if you like.

Do you wonder?

Wonder what makes the raindrops fall.

Wonder what makes some trees so tall.

Do you wonder why the sky is blue?

Do you wonder why you are you?

Do you wonder?

Do you wonder?

Wonder where the snow comes from.

And how to blow bubbles from bubble gum.

Do you wonder how to whistle and wiggle your nose?

Do you wonder why the river flows?

And do you wonder?

Do you wonder?

Wonder why it tickles when your toes are touched.

And why your tummy aches when you've eaten too much.

Do you wonder why you need to go to bed?

Do you wonder about the dreams in your head?

Do you wonder?


Do you wonder how to tell the time?

Do you wonder how to read?

Do you wonder how a goldfish breathes?

Or how much food you eat?


Do you wonder?

Wonder how to drive a big racecar.

Or wonder why your birthday always seems so far.

Do you wonder what it's like to be a pup?

Do you wonder what it's like to grow up?

Do you wonder?

SPINOZA
I wonder what you look like. I bet you look just like you. Ummm. I wonder how you sound when you giggle, when you talk loud, and when you whisper. I wonder what you like to touch. Soft cozy blankets and furry chipmunks. I wonder what feels good to you. Slippery spaghetti, warm hugs, or me, Spinoza. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Getting to know you feels good to me. I like you.

Do you wonder?

Wonder where the snow comes from.

And how to blow bubbles from bubble gum.

Do you wonder why the sky is blue?

Do you wonder why you are you?

And do you wonder?
One day I heard a sound in the woods. I followed it. I got closer and closer and it got louder and louder. I came upon my forest friends chanting. Well, they taught me their chant and I taught them my song.

Every day there is something new to know. Do you wonder what there is to eat today? There's always enough food for you.

Do you wonder who will hug you today? Who hears your giggle or knows when you are sad? Your family, friends, and me too. There's always enough love. You can get love and give it away too.

Do you wonder who loves you? You do. I do. I like everything about you. I really do. Thank you for being you.
