Lyrics

Care Bear Countdown, 4, 3, 2, 1

Who's that comin' from somewhere up in the sky?

Moving fast and bright as a firefly

Just when you think the trouble's gonna pounce

Who's gonna be there when it really counts?

Do the Care Bear Countdown

And send a wish out through the air

Just do the Care Bear Countdown

When you need them they'll be there

Don't be afraid when trouble's brewin' in your heart

If you can dream just send a wish out in the dark

And do the Care Bear's Countdown

5, 4, 3, 2, 1
