The Swamp
The Swamp is a very special place
From the starlight devotional
Where you can go to find To the study on the crucifixion
Some genuine friendships to embrace
You’re bound to get emotional
And leave the world behind
And strengthen your convictions
It’s heaven on earth
Whether short or tall
And a place from your dreams
With many friends or none
It has indescribable worth
In sunshine or rainfall
And builds your self-esteem
You’re bound to have some fun
Leave all intentions at the door
So what, you’re not so cool at school
No matter who you may be
You’re accepted for what’s inside
You’ll leave different than you were before
You can run around and act a fool
It stands a mystery
With other friends by your side
All year long I look forward to this place
And the fun times yet to come
No other camp could dare to replace
What The Swamp has already become
