The Dawn Unfolds
Tune: Least Complicated (Indigo Girls)
The dawn unfolds with quiet ease, leaves rustle glinting bright in the breeze
Tap waits in serenity, its sounds are draped in silence
But then the footsteps of the campers arrive
It won’t be long now ‘til this place comes alive
We hear the awakening of Tapawingo’s heartbeat
It consists of the sounds of the whispering girls at night
And the cheers from a game as it reaches its height
And the solemn pledge of friendship bound tight
CHORUS:
These sounds are combined as the voice comes to be
It’s the heartbeat of Tap and I hear it within me
It’s the singing as it dances down the hill, it’s the echoes of laughter
And these sounds carry on, right until we’re gone, but return the summer after
CHORUS x2
Written by Gray 1997: Lauren Spies (Captain), Anne Nicholson (Co-captain), Jenny Slate (Songleader)
