Alma Maters 2022

Suns down last night of camp
Packed bags scattered all around
All the cubbies empty and clear
Heartache felt in the air

Here I stand on Grand Sing night with my friends by my side
We're all singing, dancing, crying all together
How could camp be over so soon where did the time go
As tears stream down from my eyes, I say

How could it be the time that we all have to say goodbye
Summer memories soaring flying high
How could it be the day, it feels like we just came
Strong friendships that were made, the bond will never break

My home away from home it feels like a different life
Something special burning deep inside
Agudah, Ruach Country
One big family, for all eternity

Can't sleep lying in bed
Silence ringing in my head
The emotions that I'm feeling inside
Can't bare, starting to cry
Here I stand on Grand Sing night with my friends by my side
We're all singing, dancing, crying all together
How could camp be over so soon where did the time go
As tears stream down from my eyes, I say

How could it be the time that we all have to say goodbye
Summer memories soaring flying high
How could it be the day, it feels like we just came
Strong friendships that were made, the bond will never break

My home away from home it feels like a different life
Something special burning deep inside
Agudah, Ruach Country
One big family, for all eternity

Sitting down late at night
As camp's end slowly drifts into sight
Pen in hand I begin to write
Of summer months that changed my life

The grounds quiet everyone's asleep
I look out at a camp so unique
Eleven summers each one surreal
Creating bonds that last for years
Look around together hand in hand
A family in unity we stand
Holding on as it fades away
Can we have one more day

So close your eyes this is the last time
Cannot believe I'm saying goodbye
Though leaving never apart
For you'll always be, part of my life

Standing up as the sun starts to rise
Can't hold back I just begin to cry
Nowhere else would I rather be
But right here in Ruach Country

Look around together hand in hand
A family in unity we stand
Holding on as it fades away
Can we have one more day

So close your eyes this is the last time
Cannot believe I'm saying goodbye

Agudah as I stand tonight
Can't hold back as emotions soar high
Holding on as it fades away
Can I have one more day

I close my eyes for this is the last time
It can't be real I'm saying goodbye
Though leaving never alone
For I'll always be, an Agudah boy
