"O" Song Lyrics

On My Honor

Chorus:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done, and I say "aye"
There's a reason here for a reason above,
My honor is to try, and my duty is love.
People don't need to know my name,
If I do any harm then I'm to blame,
If I help another, I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.  Chorus

I've tucked away a song or two,
If you're feeling low there's one for you,
If you need a friend, then I will come,
And there's many more where I come from.  Chorus

Come with me where the fire burns bright,
We can even se better by a candle's light,
We can find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than we'd ever learn in a year or so.  Chorus

We've made a promise to always keep,
We pray *softly before we fall asleep*,
We'll be Girl Scouts together and when we're gone,
We'll still be a'trying and singing this song.  Chorus

(original version is *pray "Softly Falls" before we sleep*)

On the Loose

Chorus:
On the loose to climb a mountain, on the loose where I am free,
On the loose to live my life the way I think my life should be,
And I've only got a moment, and the whole world yet to see,
I'll be looking for tomorrow on the loose.

Have you ever seen the sunrise turn the sky completely red?
Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, a pin bough for your head?
Have you ever sat and talked with friends, thou a word was never said?
Then you're like me and you've been on the loose.  Chorus

There's a trail that I've been hiking, just to see where it might go,
Many places yet to visit, and many people yet to know,
So in following my dreams, I will live and I will grow,
On the trail that's waiting out there on the loose.  Chorus

So in search of love and laughter I'll be traveling 'cross this land,
Never sure of where I'm going because I haven't any plan,
So in time when you are ready, come and join me, take my hand,
And together we'll share life out on the loose.  Chorus

One Last Song

There's one last song I want to sing before I leave you,
One last song to show how much we have shared,
A smile, a tear have brought us closer together,
Each of us leaves a part of our hearts here.

Time passes by, you know it goes too quickly,
Seems like we've just arrived and it's time to go,
So take all that we have shared together,
Kindle it gently in your heart 'til it glows.

The roads we take may not always be easy,
They may take time, patience, and care,
You know you'll always have a friend you can lean on
If that road gets too tough to bear.

Repeat verse 1

Our Chalet
Words by Betty Askwith, music by Joseph Bovet

High up, high on the mountain, We've founded our Chalet.
High up, high on the mountain, We've founded our Chalet.
It's sloping roof and wide Shall shelter us without a care,
And each Girl Scout and Guide Shall find a welcome there.

High up, high on the mountain, We'll go to our Chalet.
High up, high on the mountain, We'll go to our Chalet.
Our simple life is free, Our hearts are light, our songs are gay,
We ever shall remember The joys of our Chalet.

High up, high on the mountain, We've founded our Chalet.
High up, high on the mountain, We've founded our Chalet.
And this its dedication Shall never fail nor be undone,
Each race, each creed, each nation Beneath its roof are one.
