The ladybug strolls on leaves so green

Vocals, Lyrics, Arrangement, and Production: Nik Bear Brown

The ladybug strolls on leaves so green,
A tiny gem, a lovely scene.
With each step, it brings good cheer,
Helping flowers bloom year after year.

The bumblebee buzzes from flower to flower,
Gathering nectar, a busy hour.
On dandelions, it finds delight,
A dance of life in the morning light.

The sparrow chirps from the tree so tall,
A cheerful song for one and all.
It flits to the dandelion’s head,
A fluffy wish, a dream to spread.

The sunshine sends a message,
To flowers and to trees,
To birds and all creation,
In whispers on the breeze.

The caterpillar spins its cocoon,
To rest in the warmth of the noon,
When time is right, it will break free,
And as a moth, it will be.

The dandelion blossoms bright,
A golden star in morning light,
And when its flower turns to white,**
It dances in the breezes light.

Raindrops gently kiss the earth,
Giving seeds their chance for birth,
From soil, new life will soon emerge,
A symphony of growth and surge.

In the meadow, life intertwines,
With buzzing bees and swirling signs.
The dandelions, a canvas fair,
Where nature’s art is everywhere.

On dandelions, it finds delight,
A dance of life in the morning light.
The sparrow chirps from the tree so tall,
A cheerful song for one and all.

Crying into my Gochujang Caramel Cookies

Nik Bear vocalizes his random thoughts as a daily prayer.

Vocalization, Lyrics, Arrangement, and Production: Nik Bear Brown

Back in Boston, teaching game,
Northeastern halls, but it ain't the same.
Left LA’s sunshine, UCLA’s glow,
One regret, I can’t let go.

An Indian queen, she caught my eye,
Words failed me, now I wonder why.
Could’ve made her laugh, could’ve made her stay,
Now I’m here, praying for another day,
Crying into my Gochujang Caramel Cookies, I can’t look away.

Did I miss my chance, or did fate decide?
Back on campus, but I’m empty inside.
Maybe cookies could've turned it right,
Gochujang caramel, spicy-sweet delight,
Crying into my Gochujang Caramel Cookies through the night.

Reading the recipe out loud, would she care?
Butter soft, like her laugh in the air.
A dollop of gochujang, a spicy smile,
Could I have made her see the man I be,
Or is it just these cookies speaking for me?

Crying into my Gochujang Caramel Cookies, where she used to be.
Did I miss my chance, or did fate decide?
Now I’m empty inside.

Could those cookies have bridged the space?
Maybe in their sweetness, I'd see her face.
Would she smile, would she stay, would she see?
Or is it just these cookies left comforting me?

Crying into my Gochujang Caramel Cookies, thinking of what might’ve been,
Hoping maybe, just maybe, we could start again.
The flavors linger, but she's out of sight,
Gochujang caramel, sweet but bittersweet tonight.

Crying Into My Gochujang Caramel Cookies (Nik)

And God bless the somebody I hope to see.

Nik Bear vocalizes his prose as a daily prayer.

Vocalization, Lyrics, Arrangement, and Production: Nik Bear Brown

I see the moon, and it stares at me,
Reflecting all the places I’ve been, all I see—
L.A. palm trees, Northeastern breeze,
But I left my soul somewhere in between, unseen.
A shy boy lost in the city of dreams,
But she was real, her eyes, they gleamed.
She’s everything the books could never teach me,
Now I’m back in Boston, her light still haunts me.

Wait and pray, the night don’t fade away.
Will I ever see you again? I can’t say.
I let you go, but my heart won’t set free.
God bless the moon, and God bless me,
And God bless the somebody I hope to see.

I see the moon, and the moon sees me,
The moon sees somebody I want to see.
God bless the moon, and God bless me,
And God bless the somebody I want to see.

Took the flight east, left the sun behind,
But your memory, it burns deep in my mind.
L.A. nights, we never spoke,
Now the silence grows heavy, my hope feels broke.
I teach the young, but I’m still learning,
How to let go of the fires still burning.
A nerd with a heart too shy to show,
Now I’m praying to the moon that you’ll somehow know.

Wait and pray, the night don’t fade away.
Will I ever see you again? I can’t say.
I let you go, but my heart won’t set free.
God bless the moon, and God bless me,
And God bless the somebody I hope to see.

I see the moon, and the moon sees me,
The moon sees somebody I want to see.
God bless the moon, and God bless me,
And God bless the somebody I want to see.

Maybe you’re lost in the stars somewhere,
Or maybe you’re just out there, breathing the same air.
I can’t rewind time, can’t rewrite the line,
Of the song I should’ve sung before crossing that sign.
Back in Boston, I carry regret,
But it’s not over yet—I haven’t lost the bet.
The moon sees me, the moon sees you,
Maybe one day, under its light, I’ll find what’s true.

Wait and pray, the night don’t fade away.
Will I ever see you again? I can’t say.
I let you go, but my heart won’t set free.
God bless the moon, and God bless me,
And God bless the somebody I hope to see.

I see the moon, and the moon sees me,
The moon sees somebody I want to see.
God bless the moon, and God bless me,
And God bless the somebody I want to see.

So I stand here beneath the sky,
Looking for answers as the world passes by.
She was there, but I stayed too still,
Now I’m running in circles, chasing what I feel.
Back in Boston, but part of me stayed,
In the city of angels, where dreams are made.
But now I let go, let the moon take flight,
Maybe it’ll carry me to her one night.

I see the moon, and the moon sees me,
The moon sees somebody I want to see.
God bless the moon, and God bless me,
And God bless the somebody I want to see.

And God Bless The Somebody I Want To See (Nik)

I ask the ladybug on leaves so green,

Nik Bear vocalizes his daily prayer. (and his latest country hit)

Vocalization, Lyrics, Arrangement, and Production: Nik Bear Brown

In my mind, I see her face,
The one I never knew, lost in space.
I ask the ladybug on leaves so green,
“How do you heal when longing’s unseen?”
She smiles, strolls, with grace so light,
“I help the flowers bloom, year after year, through day and night.”

I wait, I pray, beneath these skies,
Wondering if longing ever truly dies.
The creatures move, they know their way,
But all I can do is wait and pray.

I see the bumblebee buzzing high,
From flower to flower, it touches the sky.
I ask, “What do you do when your heart’s askew?”
It says, “I gather nectar, I move on through.
In dandelions, I find delight,
The dance of life in morning light.”

I wait, I pray, beneath these skies,
Wondering if longing ever truly dies.
The creatures move, they know their way,
But all I can do is wait and pray.

The sparrow chirps from the tallest tree,
I ask, “Do you ever feel like me?”
It flits to a dandelion’s head,
Spreads its wish, with dreams unsaid.
“I sing my song, I spread my sound,
Even if longing’s not around.”

I wait, I pray, beneath these skies,
Wondering if love ever truly dies.
The creatures move, they know their way,
But all I can do is wait and pray.

The caterpillar spins its cocoon so tight,
I ask, “Do you ever fear the night?”
It rests and waits in the warmth of noon,
Knowing it will break free soon.
“When the time is right, I’ll spread my wings,
From caterpillar to moth, new beginnings.”

I wait, I pray, beneath these skies,
Wondering if longing ever truly dies.
The creatures move, they know their way,
But all I can do is wait and pray.

The dandelion blooms in morning light,
A golden star shining bright.
I ask, “What do you do when passion fades away?”
It smiles, “I dance in the breeze, come what may.
When I turn to white, I let go,
And let the winds take me, wherever they blow.”

I wait, I pray, beneath these skies,
Wondering if passion ever truly dies.
The creatures move, they know their way,
But all I can do is wait and pray.

Raindrops fall, kiss the earth below,
Giving life where none would grow.
I ask the rain, “What do you do when you feel pain?”
It replies, “I bring new life with every drop,
In my rhythm, I never stop.”

I wait, I pray, beneath these skies,
Wondering if passion ever truly dies.
The creatures move, they know their way,
But all I can do is wait and pray.

5 - Second Rule 

Nik Bear vocalizes one of his dining experiences at Stetson Dining Hall at Northeastern

Vocalization, Lyrics, Arrangement, and Production: Nik Bear Brown

At Stetson Dining Hall, where I eat,
It slipped from my fingers, a cookie so sweet,
Flew off the countertop, landed near my feet.
I stared at it lying, a moment of doubt,
Five seconds to decide, before someone shouts out.

Oh, cookie, my delight, now you're free to roam,
But if I pick you up, would anyone know?
Would they turn their heads or pass me by,
Or maybe just wonder why I’d even try?

The dining hall’s busy, no one seems to care,
If I grab you quick, would they even stare?
Folks say, "It’s just a snack," but it’s more to me,
That cookie was my joy, a quiet victory.

Five-second rule, does it count today?
Would anyone notice, or just look away?
If I pick you up, would God even mind?
Or is this the moment where rules unwind?

Oh, cookie, my delight, you’re just out of reach,
Five seconds tick by, I’m stuck in this breach.
Do I leave you behind or take the chance,
In this crowded hall, under everyone’s glance?

Perhaps you’ve met a new fate on that dusty floor,
A crumbly feast for a mouse who could not ignore.
But if I move fast, and no one looks my way,
Is the five-second rule still okay?

The moment passes, and I let you be,
The table wiped down, you’re lost to me.
But if I’d picked you up, who’s to say,
That cookie could’ve lived to see another day.

Five-second rule, does it count today?
Would anyone notice, or just look away?
If I pick you up, would God even mind?
Or is this the moment where rules unwind?

Oh, cookie, my delight, now you're free to roam,
But if I picked you up, would anyone know?
Would they turn their heads or pass me by,
Or maybe just wonder why I’d even try?

So here’s to you, sweet cookie, wherever you may lie,
Part of me wishes I gave it a try.
Five seconds too long, life’s flavor fades away,
My cookie now a memory, left for crumbs today.

Oh, cookie, my delight, you’re just out of reach,
Five seconds tick by, I’m stuck in this breach.
Do I leave you behind or take the chance,
In this crowded hall, under everyone’s glance?

Five-second rule, does it count today?
Would anyone notice, or just look away?
If I pick you up, would God even mind?
Or is this the moment where rules unwind?

I love Rags and he loves me.

Vocalization, Arrangement, and Production: Nik Bear Brown


I have a dog.
His name is Rags.
He eats so much that his tummy sags,
His ears flip flop
and his tail wig wags.
And when he walks, he goes zig zag.

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.

My dog Rags, he loves to play.
He rolls around in the mud all day.
I whistle. [whistle]
He won't obey.
He always runs the other way.

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.

My dog Rags, he loves to run.
He wants me to join him in the fun.
He whimpers. [whimper]
He won't obey.
He always runs the other way.

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.

My dog Rags, he loves to bark.
He wants me to join him in the park.
He barks. [bark bark]
He tries to talk.
He barks to chase the cats away.

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.

I have a dog.
His name is Rags.
He eats so much that his tummy sags,
His ears flip flop
and his tail wig wags.
And when he walks, he goes zig zag.

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.

Hinkle Finkle Dinkle Doo

Nik Bear vocalizes his poems as a daily prayer.

Vocalization, Lyrics, Arrangement, and Production: Nik Bear Brown


Saw her smile, caught a glimpse of grace,
Now I’m haunted by the beauty of her face.
Never said what was deep in my chest,
Words I couldn’t find, emotions suppressed.
Now I’m waiting, time’s ticking like the beat,
Praying for a chance our paths might meet.

And I don’t know what I should do or say
So please can you help me today
Hinkle Finkle Dinkle Doo
Now tell me what would the Lord God do
Wiggle Jiggle Diggle Dee
Look inside and you will see
What’s the right thing for you to do
Hinkle, Finkle, Dinkle Doo

She was everything I wanted, but the fear ran deep,
A shy nerd, playing safe, afraid to leap.
Now all I’ve got are memories, and this flight,
Back to Boston, in the quiet of the night.
Regret's a shadow that follows me now,
How do you move forward when you don’t know how?
Waiting for a sign, waiting for a clue,
Praying that I’ll hear from her, maybe something new.

And I don’t know what I should do or say
So please can you help me today
Hinkle Finkle Dinkle Doo
Now tell me what would the Lord God do
Wiggle Jiggle Diggle Dee
Look inside and you will see
What’s the right thing for you to do
Hinkle, Finkle, Dinkle Doo

Now the distance is miles, but it feels much more,
What if she forgets, what if she closes that door?

Hinkle Finkle Dinkle Doo (Nik)

Loveliness extreme, sweetest ice-cream

Nik Bear vocalizes his poems as a daily prayer.

Vocalization, Lyrics, Arrangement, and Production: Nik Bear Brown

I was just a shy nerd with nothing to say,
Watched her walk by, now she’s far away.
Her smile hit me like the sweetest ice-cream,
A taste of something rare, something serene.
Now I’m back in Boston, thinking ‘bout that time,
Wondering if there’s still hope, praying that it’s mine.

Loveliness extreme, sweetest ice-cream,
She’s now lost, but I still dream.
Loveliness extreme, sweetest ice-cream,
Praying that she’ll come back in my dreams.

I left L.A., with her face in my mind,
Wondering if I left my chance behind.
Her eyes, her grace, a beauty so supreme,
I missed the moment, but I hold the theme.
Loveliness extreme, sweetest ice-cream,
I’m stuck in this cold, but her warmth’s my gleam.
Now I pray she’ll remember my silent plea,
That she’ll find her way back, find her way to me.

Loveliness extreme, sweetest ice-cream,
She’s now lost, but I still dream.
Loveliness extreme, sweetest ice-cream,
Praying that she’ll come back in my dreams.

I wonder if she’s somewhere thinking ‘bout me,
Or if I was just a shadow she couldn’t see.
But her smile, her eyes, they still gleam,
In my mind, her loveliness extreme.
Now Boston’s cold, and the days move slow,
But her memory’s the light that I still know.

(Whistling)

Loveliness extreme, sweetest ice-cream,
She’s now lost, but I still dream.
Praying that she’ll come back in my dreams.

If only I could tell her what she means,
She’s the sweetest ice-cream, loveliness extreme.
I’ll pray, I’ll hope, I’ll hold on tight,
That one day, she’ll step back into my light.
Till then, I’m just a man stuck in between,
Holding onto a memory, bittersweet and clean.

Loveliness extreme, sweetest ice-cream,
She’s now lost, but I still dream.
Praying that she’ll come back in my dreams.

(Whistling)

Down On Your Knees To Pray

Vocalization, Arrangement, and Production: Nik Bear Brown

As I went down on my knees to pray,
Hoping to find the good old way,
When you shall wear the starry crown,
Good Lord, show me the way.

O mourner, let's go down,
Down on my knees to pray.

As I went down on my knees to pray,
Hoping to find the good old way;
You shall wear the starry crown,
Good Lord, show me the way.

By-and-by I'll go down,
Down on my knees to pray.

Lift up your heads, Immanuel's friends,
And taste the pleasure Lord God sends.
Let nothing cause you to delay,
But hasten on the good old way.

As I went down on my knees to pray,
Seeking strength for the trials of the day,
With faith to guide me along the way,
Good Lord, show me the way.

O seeker, let me go forth,
Down on my knees to pray.

When I feel lost in the shadows of doubt,
I lift my voice and sing out,
For in His light, there’s no need to pout,
Good Lord, show me the way.

O children, gather round,
Down on your knees to pray.

Through trials faced, I will find my song,
In unity, I'll stand, brave and strong,
With every step, I'll right the wrong,
Good Lord, show me the way.

O faithful, let me rise,
Down on my knees to pray.

Down On Your Knees To Pray (Traditional Folk)

I go flip flop, wig wag, zig zag


Vocalization, Lyrics, Arrangement, and Production: Nik Bear Brown


Wondering if a song could make her see,
Or would she just laugh and forget about me?

I go flip flop, wig wag, zig zag,
Back and forth, will she like that tag?
I go flip flop, wig wag, zig zag,
Will my songs impress, or is it just a drag?
I go flip flop, wig wag, zig zag,
I go flip flop, wig wag, zig zag,
I go flip flop, wig wag, zig zag,
I go flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.

Back and forth, I’m stuck in this sway,
Will these songs reach her or fade away?

I sit with my laptop, humming these lines,
Thinking of her and wishing for signs.
If I sing about her eyes, will she know it’s true?
If I vocalize her smile, will she feel it too?
But doubt creeps in, like the Boston chill,
Will she even care about the songs I spill?
Will my melodies catch her, or just fade away,
Like the words I never spoke that fateful day?

I go flip flop, wig wag, zig zag,
Back and forth, will she like that tag?
I go flip flop, wig wag, zig zag,
Will my songs impress, or is it just a drag?

Back and forth, I’m stuck in this sway,
Will these songs reach her or fade away?

I imagine her listening, headphones on tight,
Listening in the middle of the night.
Maybe she’ll smile, maybe she’ll sigh,
But will she remember me, or just pass by?
