Camp Stonybrook Serenade Songs

Barges

Out of my window looking in the night, I can see the barges flickering light.

Silently flows the river to the sea, As the barges go by silently.

Chorus: Barges, I would like to go with you, I would like to sail the ocean blue.

Barges, have you treasures in your hold?

Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?

Out of my window looking in the night, I can see the barges flickering light.

Starboard shining green and port is shining red, I can see the barges from my bed.

(Chorus) Out of my window looking in the night, I can see the barges flickering light.

Anchors start to pull and engines start to roar, As the barges pull away from shore.

(Chorus) Out of my window looking in the night, I can see the barges flickering light.

Stars are brightly lighting up the sky, As the barges seem to skip right by.

(Chorus)

Out of my window looking in the night I can see the barges flickering light.

Taking their cargo out into the sea, How I wish someday they’d take me.

(Chorus) How my heart wants to sail away with you, As you sail across the ocean blue.

But I must stay beside my window clear, As the barges sail away from here.

(Chorus)

Canadian Wilderness

The life of a voyager That of a sojourner Traveling around and round But not from town to town Travels the lakes and streams Follows her distance dreams She’s on the waterways Blue skies or cloudy days Chorus: My heart has but one home From which I’ll never roam Land of true happiness Canadian wilderness The cry of a lonely loon Coyotes howling at the moon Wind rustling through the trees That’s a Canadian breeze 41

Smoke rising from the fire Up to the trees in a stately spire Up to meet the evenings glow Sun goes down the north winds blow

To grow Softly as the people sleep The moon moves through the sky As she sings to us all Her lullaby

(Chorus)

(Repeat or sing in a round)

One Tin Soldier

Listen children to a story That was written long ago about a kingdom on a mountain And the valley far below On the mountain was a treasure Buried deep beneath a stone And the valley people swore They’d have it for their very own Chorus: So go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend But do it in the name of Heaven You’ll be justified it in the end There won’t be any trumpets blowing Come the Judgment Day But on the bloody morning after One tin soldier rides away So the people of the valley Sent a message up the hill Asking for the buried treasure Tons of gold for which they’d kill Came an answer from the kingdom With our brothers we will share All the secrets of our mountain All the riches buried there

(Chorus) Now the valley cried in anger “Mount your horses, draw your sword” And they killed the mountain people So they won their just reward Now they stood beside the treasure On the mountain dark and red Turn the stone and look beneath it “Peace on Earth” was all it said (Chorus)

Pooh’s Corner

Christopher Robin and I walked along Under branches lit up by the moon Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore As our days passed away all too soon But I’ve wandered much further today than I should And I can’t seem to find my way back to the Wood Chorus: So help me if you can I’ve got to get back To the House at Pooh Corner by one You’d be surprised There’s so much to be done Count all the bees in the hive Chase all the clouds from the sky Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

Got a honey jar stuck on his nose He came to me asking help and advice From here no one knows where he goes So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he’s there How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear (Chorus) It’s hard to explain how a few precious things Seem to follow throughout all our lives After all’s said and done I was watching my son Sleeping there with my bear by his side So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going I swear that the old bear whispered “Boy welcome home” Believe me if you can I’ve finally come back To the House at Pooh Corner by one What do you know There’s so much to be done Count all the bees in the hive Chase all the clouds from the sky Back to the days of Christopher Robin Back to the ways of Christopher Robin Back to the days of Pooh

Winnie the Pooh doesn’t know what to do 43

Rainbow Love

Chorus: We’re a Rainbow Made of children We’re an army singin’ a song There’s no weapons that can stop us Rainbow love is just too strong I was born in, Mississippi Saying yes sir to the man But it didn’t, get me nowhere So I’ll never say it again (Chorus) I was taught that dark was evil I was taught that light was good But when you become a rainbow All the colors are understood (Chorus) Now our rainbows all kinds of people Walking together hand in hand At the end of that rainbow They’ll be peace throughout the land (Chorus)

Remember

Taps

Day is done, gone the sun, From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky.

All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Come along, say goodnight, As the campfire turns into evening light.

With each living, glowing ember, There’s a friendship to remember.

So we’ll say one last goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.

Goodnight, Girl Scouts!

your own summers day Put it on away Can you read the writing On this tiny bottle’s wall I know that it’s quite small But I can read it all It says ’She who is a readin’ me Is looking right at my side And might be kind of interested At what lies inside There’ll be one breath of a butterfly One ray from the sun And lots and lots of laughter From little children’s fun’ Don’t you dare uncork it, Or everything will fly away And I just wanted you to have a summers day Put it on away

Boy and a Girl

A boy and a girl in a little canoe With the moon shining all around As he dipped his paddle in You couldn’t even hear a sound So they talked and they talked ‘Til the moon grew dim: He said you better kiss me Or get out and swim So what you going to do in a little canoe With the moon shining all around A boy and a girl in a little canoe With the moon shining all around As he dipped his paddle in You couldn’t even hear a sound So they talked and they talked ‘Til the moon grew dim: 47

He said you better kiss me Or get out and swim So what you going to do in a little canoe With the moon shining all a Boats floating all around A boy and a girl in a little canoe With the moon shining all around As he dipped his paddle in You couldn’t even hear a sound So they talked and they talked ‘Til the moon grew dim: He said you better kiss me Or get out and swim So what you going to do in a little canoe With the moon shining all a Boats floating all a Girls swimin’ all around SMART GIRL!

Butterfly

Don’t try to catch me, I’m flying free, Don’t try to stop me, let me be me, Just watch my colors flash in the sun, On the wings of a butterfly you’ll see me come, On the wings of a butterfly, You’ll see me come.

Don’t try to pick me from all the rest, Don’t fence me in, for I’ll protest, Just watch my colors bloom in the sun On the petals of a daisy you’ll see me come, On the petals of a daisy, You’ll see me come.

48

Don’t try to chase me, I’ll disappear, Don’t search for treasure, you’ll find none here, Just watch my colors change in the sun, On the ribbons of a rainbow you’ll see me come, On the ribbons of a rainbow, You’ll see me come

Circle Game

Yesterday a child went out to wonder, Caught a dragonfly inside a jar, Fearful when the sky was full of thunder, And tearful at the falling of a star.

Chorus: And the seasons, they go ‘round and ‘round, And the painted ponies go up and down We’re captives on a carousel of time.

We can’t return, we can only look behind from where we came And go ‘round and ‘round and ‘round on the circle game.

Then the child moved ten times ‘round the seasons, Skated over ten clear, frozen streams.

Words like “when you’re older” must appease her, And promises of someday make her dreams.

(Chorus)

Why don’t you share yours with me?

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now Cartwheels turn to car wheels ‘round the town.

And you tell her, “take your time, it won’t be long now, ‘Till you drag your feet just to slow the circles down.”

(Chorus) A dream is something all your own to keep within your heart To build on when you’re your glad or when your world’s been torn apart A dream is something all your own that no one else can steal A dream is for you to make real

(Chorus) (Chorus) So the years spin by and now the girl is twenty.

Though her dreams have lost some grandeur coming true, There’ll be new dreams, maybe better dreams, and plenty Before that last revolving year is through.

(Chorus)

Dreams

Flicker

The flicker of the campfire, The wind in the pines, The stars in the heavens, The moon that shines, A place where people gather To make friends of all kinds, A place where all my troubles Are far behind

Chorus: May all of your dreams bloom like daisies in the sun May you always have stars in your eyes.

May you not stop running not until your race is won May you always have blue skies

So, give me the light of the campfire So warm and bright, And give me some friends to sing with, I’ll be here all night.

Love is for those who find it, I’ve found mine right here, Just you and me and the campfire And the songs we love to hear.

You can share your laughter with a stranger that you meet You can share your money with a begger on the street But you can only share your dreams when love has set them free

So, let the campfire flicker Into the night, And let the dreams we cherish Remain in its light.

Love is for those who find it, I’ve found mine right here 49

Just you and me and the campfire, And the songs we love to hear.

Girl Scouts Together

Girl Scouts together that is our song Winding the old trails, rocky and long Learning our motto, living our creed Girl Scouts together in every good deed Girl Scouts together happy are we Friendly to neighbors far o’re the sea Faithful to country loyal to home Known as true Girl Scouts where ever we roam.

I Don’t Want to Live on the Moon

Well, I’d like to visit the moon On a rocketship high in the air.

Yes, I’d like to visit the moon, But I don’t think I’d like to live there.

Though I’d like to look down at the earth from above, I would miss all the places and people I love, So although I might like it for one afternoon, I don’t want to live on the moon.

I’d like to travel under the sea.

I could meet all the fish everywhere.

50

Yes, I’d like to visit the sea, But I don’t think I’d like to live there.

I might stay for a day there if I had my wish, But there’s not much to do when your friends are all fish, And an oyster and clam aren’t real family, so I don’t want to live in the sea.

I’d like to visit the jungle, hear the lion’s roar; Go back in time and meet a dinosaur.

There’s so many strange places I’d like to be, But none of them permanently.

So if I should visit the moon, Well, I’ll dance on a moonbeam, and then I will make a wish on a star, And I’ll wish I was home once again.

Though I’d like to look down at the earth from above, I would miss all the places and people I love, So although I may go, I’ll be coming home soon, ‘Cause I don’t want to live on the moon.

No, I don’t want to live on the moon.

On the Loose

Chorus: On the loose to climb a mountain On the loose where I am free On the loose to live my life, the way I think my life should be For I’ve only got a moment and the

whole world yet to see I’ll be looking for tomorrow on the loose.

Have you ever watched the sunrise turn the sky completely red Have you slept beneath the moon and stars a pine bough for your bed Do you sit and talk with friends, though a word was never said Then you’re just like me and you’ve been on the loose There’s a trail that I’ll be hiking just to see where it might go Many places yet to visit, many people yet to know For in following my dreams, I will live and I will grow On a trail that’s waiting out there on the loose (Chorus) So in search of love and laughter, I’ll be traveling cross this land Never sure of where I’m going, for I haven’t any plans So in time when you are ready come and join me take my hand And together we’ll share life out there on the loose In this world that I am traveling, I will think of you this way Remembering your smile for it seems like yesterday When we slept beneath the stars, and we dreamed about this day Now we have come together on the loose

Have you ever heard a whippoorwill singing to the morning dew?

When you hear the bells ringing, do you know they ring for you?

And when you look back on the past, all I really ask of you Is to remember me when you’re out on the loose Do the trees in the forest make you sit and think of love?

Does it take you twenty times or more to count the stars above?

For I’m here now and I like it and the hours melt away And if I want I’ll stay here another day (Chorus) As I sit and watch the sunset and the daylight softly fades, I am thinking of tomorrow and the friendships we have made I will value them for always, and I hope you’ll do the same And forever we’ll explore life on the loose Now the moon is softly glowing and the stars are twinkling bright Our laughter and our friendship have cleared this cloudy night Come and join our flickering campfire, come and sing our happy songs And together we’ll share life out on the loose (Chorus)

(Chorus) 51

Today

Tree Hugger

Chorus: Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine, I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine.

A million tomorrows may all pass away E’er I forget all the joys that are mine today.

The flower said, “I wish I was a tree” The tree said, “I wish I could be A different kind of tree” The cat wished that it was a bee The turtle wished that it could fly Really high into the sky Over rooftops and then dive Deep into the sea

I’ll be a dandy and I’ll be a rover, You’ll know who I am by the songs that I sing.

I’ll feast at your table and sleep in your clover, Who cares what the morrow shall bring.

(Chorus) I can’t be contended with yesterday’s glories, I can’t live on promises winter to spring.

Today is my moment and now is my story, I’ll laugh and I’ll cry and I’ll sing.

(Chorus) Oh, life is a pleasure that fades much too quickly, You’ll laugh and you’ll love and you’ll sing your bright song.

Tomorrow the sun might fade and you are lonely, So sing and we’ll carry it on.

And in the sea there is a fish A fish that has a secret wish A wish to be a big cactus With a pink flower on it And in the sea there is a fish A fish that has a secret wish A wish to be a big cactus With a pink flower on it And the flower Would be its offering Of love to the desert And the desert So dry and lonely That the creatures all Appreciate the effort And the rattlesnake said “I wish I had hands so I could hug you like a man” And then the cactus said “Don’t you understand My skin is covered with sharp spikes That’ll stab you like a thousand knives.

A hug would be nice But hug my flower with your eyes” The flower said, “I wish I was a tree” The tree said, “I wish I could be

52

A different kind of tree” The cat wished that it was a bee The turtle wished that it could fly Really high into the sky Over rooftops and then dive Deep into the sea And in the sea there is a fish A fish that has a secret wish A wish to be a big cactus With a pink flower on it And in the sea there is a fish A fish that has a secret wish A wish to be a big cactus With a pink flower on it And the flower Would be its offering Of love to the desert And the desert So dry and lonely That the creatures all Appreciate the effort
