She's seen five winters up on the bluff
She didn't know the rules we made up
Never was trusting of the two-legged goats
Bluff charge or two usually makes them go
It'd been a long winter no longer could den
Had to emerge start feeding again
Nothing was blooming, had nothing to show
Thought she should visit the two-leggeds' home
But she's got the strength of 100 men
No modern-day worries: no heartache no sin
And she's got a coat that's shinier than
All of the costumes I wear oh
I couldn't help stop and stare
Word of her wandering spread like a fire
Cars all pulled over, backed up for miles
Shutters and flashes between saskatoons
The woods' paparazzi won't give her no room
Swipe at a camcorder, her first mistake
Town hall lit up with a yelling debate
Was she a villain, victim, or saint?
Fists starting flying- chairs lost their place
Billy from council got punched in the face
While we were arguing she slipped away
Finished her berries and was unashamed
She was unaware of our angst
Oh, was unaware of our angst
But she's got the strength of 100 men
No modern day worries, no heartache, no sin
But damn it's a lot to carry the weight
Of all of the colours we paint her
All of the colours we paint
So put up those pictures of her on the wall
Tell campfire stories and make those bear calls
Bring her up at parties to start a debate
She's chaos and calm, oh she's love and she's hate
But all eyes on her
When she walks through the gate
Fear and fresh focus, she'll give and she'll take
We say we manage- really we can't
Her keystoning
mood-swinging
brawl-starting ways
Cuz she's got the strength of 100 men
No modern day worries: no heartache no sin
But damn it's a lot to carry the weight
Of all the colours we paint her
All of the colours we paint
