Tapawingo, Place of Joy
Tune: Front Porch Lookin' In
Tapawingo, place of joy, I call my summer home
No one seems to understand this world that’s all our own
Speeding up on down the hill, my legs kick up behind
This feeling of amazement, it happens every time
We can sing all day and laugh all night, and wake up wanting more
The friendships here we can’t explain, they leave us feeling sure
CHORUS:
When I look up at the stars at night, I’ll see my every dream
With girls that are my family, I know I can believe
All the friendships so true, both the gray and blue
It takes my breath away, Tapawingo, place of joy
Looking all around the bunk my friends lay by my side
It’s late at night, a joke is made, our laughter we can’t hide
We sit around the circle and I look across to see
The girls I shared that moment with are now my family
Traditions we have grown to love are nature to us now
Forever we’ll appreciate and help show others how
It’s hard to see what camp is about (It’s ooh)
When you’re looking in, not when you’re looking out
CHORUS
It takes my breath away, Tapawingo, place of joy
