O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.

I love the mountains; I love the rolling hills,
I love the flowers; I love the daffodils;
I love the fireside when all the lights are low.

Swinging along the open road,

Swinging along, swinging along,
Swinging along the open road,
All in the Fall of the year.

The Wind Beneath My Wings
by Larry Henley & Jeff Silbar

1st Verse
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face.
You were the one who let me shine.
You always walked one step behind.
2nd Verse
I was the one with all the glory.
While you were the one withall the strength.
A beautiful face without a name,
I never once heard you complain.
Chorus
Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
And everything I would like to be?
Well, I can fly higher than an eagle,
‘Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
3rd Verse
It may have appeared to go unnoticed
But I’ve got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth,
That I would be nothing without you.

Come to the top of the path in the garden,
There you’ll see the mill;
Look at the sails now turning up so fast on yonder hill
And falling down again and down again,
The ground they touch until.
This Pretty Planet
(a 3-part round)
by Tom Chapman and John Foster
This pretty planet spinning thru space
You’re a garden, you’re a harbor
You’re a holy place
Golden Sun going down
Gentle blue giant, spin us around
All through the night
Safe till the morning light.
We Change the World / GS RAP
words & Music by Melinda Caroll ©1998
Chorus
Change the World come with me, Time to let our dreams fly free
And it comes so easily. That is our way
Every moment we’re alive, It’s our love that will survive
In the Girl Scouts together, We Change the World
1st Verse
We’re the Girl Scouts and we say
If you like a little challenge, well we found a way
Maybe you were thinking that you didn’t fit in
But we’ve got a story, let us begin
The Girl Scouts started a long time ago
For girls from ages 5 to 18 or so
We’ve got the Daisies, the Brownies, the Juniors and Cadettes
And the Seniors top the heap to make us the Best
And when the Sisters link up in every land
Our Voice is strong when we take a stand
Cause we’re the Girl Scouts
Chorus
Change the World come with me; Time to let our dreams fly free
And it comes so easily, that is our way
Every moment we’re alive, It’s our love that will survive
In the Girl Scouts together, We Change the World
2nd Verse
Of course we love to camp, bike and swim
We take on the same vocations as boys and men
And some folks think that this is just a game
But “adventure” is our middle name
And we don’t drink and we don’t do drugs
Our bodies are too important to us
We’re always prepared and community-minded
Come along, we think you’ll like it
And when the Sisters link up in every land
Our Voice is strong when we take a stand
