A Thousand Fires
(Original song written by "Starr", a staff member at the Farm and Wilderness Camp in Vermont; additional verses by Jeff Louwsma, Camp Crystalaire, MI).

Thanks very much to Amy Halter, who sent this song to me! Now I just wish I could hear the tune so I could teach it to my own camp staff...

Around a thousand fires

I came across your face

And for hours and hours

We were one and the same

People say you're a runner

But I know

You're just looking for a place to be

Just like me, knew right away

Didn't even have to hear them say

Chorus:

I can do anything that I want to

And I will

I can do anything that I want 

And I will

You know I will

Around a thousand fires

Far off I heard your voice

And for hours and hours

It echoed in my heart

People say you're a dreamer

But I know

You're just hoping that you're dreams will come to be

Just like me

I knew right away

Didn't even have to hear them say

Around a thousand fires

You have changed my life

And forever and ever

I will never be the same

People say you're a loner

But I know

You're just looking for someone to love

Just like me

I knew right away

Didn't even have to hear them say
