camp goodnight song

green trees around us

blue skies above

friends all around us

in a world filled with love

taps sounding softly

hearts beating true

as campers say

goodnight to you

day is done

gone the sun

from the lakes from the hills from the sky

all is well

safely rest

god is nigh

  4. they've lasted this long... its about tradition more than anything. like at campfires one of the guys dresses up like an indian and talks about the creator of the skies and the mountains and the lakes. before dinner each night we sing a pray that one line says "thanks be to god for this our bread" and after campfire we say an indian prayer, which i don't know the translation to
