(Tune: Leader of the Band)
A quiet simple countryland, just some place on a road
Covered with the bright fall leaves and snowdrifts when its cold
Until the sun warms up the sky 'cause summers on its way
This place becomes a special home to children on their way.
Some of us were strangers, and some of us old friends
We came from different places yet our worlds were forced to blend
As we look around us now, we see one thing's the same
The smile that shines on every face when we think of Camp Green Lane.
They'll come a time you'll feel alone
And you'll need a soothing thought
Just recall a memory of great times that camp brought
The moments shared with you my friend, I hope will long remain
Forever we'll be thankful for the gift of Camp Green Lane.
When we're at home through winter months
We'll sit and watch snow fall
We'll hear a quiet beckoning
We'll hear Camp Green Lane' call.
And suddenly our hearts are filled
with longing and love
Minds turn to green grass under foot
and clear skies up above.
Now I'll reach out a hand to you to wipe away the tear
I'll always keep you in my heart till we return next year.
They'll come a time you'll feel alone
And you'll need a soothing thought
Just recall a memory of great times that camp brought
The moments shared with you my friend, I hope will long remain
Forever we'll be thankful for the gift of Camp Green Lane.
