On My Honor (I Will Try)

On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done and I say 'aye'
There's a reason here, for reason above
My honor is to try, my duty is to love.

People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm than I'm to blame
If I've helped another than I've helped me
If I've opened up my eyes to see.

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

Come with me where the fire burns bright
You can even see better by candlelight
You can learn more here in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so.

On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done and I say 'aye'
There's a reason here for reason above
My honor is to try, my duty is to love.

(This song can be sung with the chorus after each verse, but it flows much better with the chorus at just the beginning and end of the song. Some girl scouts I have met were horrified, though, at the thought of not repeating the chorus for each verse. This song is often used by both boy and girl scouts to close campfires.)
