Campfire Closing Song

This Song is meant for Scouts BSA.
Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not.

Tune: Down in the Valley view video

Let us all stand now - time we must go,
Silently leaving - thoughts let us know,
Thoughts let us know, thoughts let us know,
Silently leaving - thoughts let us know.

Watch the fire flicker - the last of the flame,
But as we leave you - your friendship we claim,
Your friendship we claim, yes, your friendship we claim,
But as we leave you - your friendship we claim.

Watch the red embers - a memory of light,
We carry it with us, to show us the right.
To show us the right, yes to show us the right.
We carry it with us - to show us the right.

Watch the hot ashes - once it was wood,
Has changed through service - a blessing that's good.
A blessing that's good, yes, a blessing that's good,
Has changed through service - a blessing that's good.

Watch the fire dying - but when it is dead,
Always the memory - will lead us ahead.
Will lead us ahead, yes, will lead us ahead,
Always the memory - will lead us ahead.
