Story Behind The Song
It is a poignant idea that the love a child has for Teddy can carry on and be supportive through life. I had a Care Bear and he helped me through many a hard time. Luke played the chords to start me off and it all came out easily after that.
Song Description
A song for people who love their Teddy and the comfort that bear can still bring to them couple with the idea that deep down Teddy is still their friend for life.

Lyrics
There's a path that I take when I'm going home
My teddy always walks it with his paw in my own
It's a skip and a hop and a jump across the river
Where the currents play leap frog with the shore
My teddy always wants to stop along the way
He's always saying that I walk too fast
So I sit along the shoreline dreaming our dreams
As our friends play music in the waves
He says life's too short to work away
Hopes I never get old and work everyday
Says some kids my age have thrown their teddies away
I say Teddy you'r e my Teddy to stay
Better put your best foot forward
Best you be my comrade in arms
There's a road that I drive when I'm going home
With Teddy in the front seat I don't feel so alone
I say Teddy you're my Teddy wherever you are is my home
You and I are finally sailing away
On those friendly waves where the fairies lay
Where all of our friends are going to someday
There never be a reason for us to be afraid
With the ship and my first mate at the helm
Better put your best foot forward
Best you be my comrade in arms
Oooh
