Camp Lyrics

Barefoot with splinters

Frisbee toss and sunflower seeds

Spit across the cabins and the fields

Mountain craze and competition filled the days

Then we'd dip in the river before our final meal

A place where worries weren't allowed

And new best friends from out of town you'd meet

Now all that I can think about

Are memories atop Lookout

Those simple days seem so far out of reach

Barely surviving a grown up world

I'm fighting for a peace just like I had back in the day

Campground fields full of laughter

Seeming so much better after

Emails, traffic, and endless bills to pay

Oh how I wish

I was back at camp

Hallelujah choirs

Every night around the fire

Telling jokes beside your new best friends

Windows were open

Mountain breeze would roll

You'd hear the crickets chirp

And birds would sing their hymns

And as the sun would rise again

We'd gather before we begin

The brand new day that awaited up ahead

We'd sing a song, or maybe two

And praise the one who brought us through

To see another morning sunrise red

Then Gail would ring the bell

And all us hungry boys would

Run up the mess hall ramp

I know those days have come and gone

I guess I'm stuck here singing songs

Of how much I would give

To be back at camp

Barely surviving a grown up world

I'm fighting for a peace just like I had back in the day

Campground fields full of laughter

Seeming so much better after

Emails, traffic, and endless bills to pay

Oh I'm

Barely surviving this grown up world

I'm fighting for a peace just like I had back in the day

Campground fields full of laughter

Seeming so much better after

Emails, traffic, and endless bills to pay
