To Magness, We'll Never Say Goodbye

[This is a set of lyrics put together by some of the Magness staff prior to the 2000 camp season, set to the tune of "Blowing in the Wind". They're a bit shaky, and could use some TLC by future Magness staff. This was pulled from the original chicken scratches we collectively came up with (yes, I was on the Magness staff for this one), and between the handwriting, ink-splotches from Forrest's pocket, fold creases, and all the arrows and scratched out bits, this may not be quite the song we'd originally envisioned. Still, it's a start.]

Try to forget all you've learned downtown
Embrace mother nature at last
Watch the full moon over waters so still
Dreaming of campfires past.
Hike o'er the trails where the eagles fly
Above the valley so vast

CHORUS: At Magness, my friends
Our song will never end
The memory will ring upon the wind.

Return many times to our trees and our fields
To see all that you can be
Grow all you can while you're here among us
For then your heart will be free
Year after year we'll come back here
To Magness we'll never say goodbye

CHORUS
