So close I can almost hear him calling out my name
So close pretty soon my life won't ever be the same
Nobody guessed that an explorer
And a bear could be the perfect pair
So close I can almost see him open up the door
This hat tells him I'm the one that he's been waiting for
And he'll share all his stories until his throat is hoarse
So, I'll make him a sandwich
Marmalade, of course
He'll show me things I've never seen
Where I've never been
There's no greater team out there
And when the two of us combine
All the stars will shine
You won't ever find a pair that compares
To The Explorer and The Bear
So close I can't wait to tell Aunt Lucy he's been found
Though I'll find it hard to say goodbye to all the Browns
They have shown me what it's like to have a home
But now it's time for me to find one of my own
You'll show me things I've never seen
Where I've never been
There's no greater team out there
And when the two of us combine
All the stars will shine
You won't ever find a pair that compares
To The Explorer and The Bear
I don't know where he's hiding
But I know that I'll find him
And then we'll be just like a family
He'll say, "Let's stay together
All day, always, whatever the weather
This way forever and ever"
That's when I'll belong somewhere
He'll show me things I've never seen
Where I've never been
There's no greater team out there
And when the two of us combine
All the stars will shine
You won't ever find a pair
There will be laughter in the air
You'll be glad I'm there
Nothing can compare
To The Explorer and The Bear!
