Our camp (and alumni) always look forward to our oldest campers (THE DORM) appearance at Girls’ Sing. They brainstorm their sing theme from the time they are Debs! They talk in the off-season, planning ideas. They write their own songs and practice them in a secret location. They make “fake scenery” to keep everyone guessing. The anticipation for Dorm sing is a tradition that dates way back in our camp’s history and is awesome. It is especially an emotional tradition to listen to our Dorm Girls sing from the heart in their Alma Mater. Seeing how far they have come. They were once 8 year old Debs, sitting in a circle, playing duck duck goose. Today they are 15 year old sisters, sitting in a circle, arm in arm, bonded for life. Here are their lyrics, sung to the Gavin Rossdale song “Love Remains the Same “. Grab some tissues and enjoy.
Love Remains The Same
A thousand memories that we’ve shared
It’s hard to picture you not there
Fate has brought me here to be with you
Twenty-four girls came together
To form a bond that lasts forever
Without you I don’t know who I would be
All the summers we’ve been spending
How is it our journey’s ending
CHORUS:
I never thought that I
Would have to say goodbye
Sitting hand in hand
I can’t live without you
Here united we are one
Friendships we have gained
Dorm thirteen won’t change
Our love remains the same
Camp’s the place we call our own
We’ll always find our way back home
Let us freeze this moment here in time
No matter if you’re near or far
You’ll always be inside my heart
Although the days are coming to a close
All the summers we’ve been spending
How is it our journey’s ending
CHORUS:
I never thought that I
Would have to say goodbye
Sitting hand in hand
I can’t live without you
Here united we are one
Friendships we have gained
Dorm thirteen won’t change
Our love remains the same
So much more to say
Please don’t go away
You are my best friends
I’ll be here ‘til the end
Never let me go
We wish we could rewind
Stay right by my side
How’d we end up here
Even though we’ll soon be parting
I promise a new chapter’s starting
All the summers we’ve been spending
How is it our journey’s ending
CHORUS:
I never thought that I
Would have to say goodbye
Sitting hand in hand
I can’t live without you
Here united we are one
Friendships we have gained
Dorm thirteen won’t change
Sisters we will stay
Our love will never fade
