Ira Congo

Ira Congo.
Ira Congo by aye.

Ira Congo,
by aye Congo,
by aye Congo,
bye aye.

This song can be sung in a round.

Listen to the Earth

Listen to the Earth,
its singing to me.
Hear all things in harmony!

Waterfalls and raindrops,
birds and bees.
Sing the song of the Earth to me.

Ranger Song

Firm be the bond that binds us fast,
Firm be the faith we owe!
We who are standing side by side,
One though a thousand leagues divide.
Hills where the lighted campfires gleam and glow.

Down in the ash the embers die,
turned to a silver grey!
Golden and blue, the evening sky,
raises a star-lit flag on high.
Now that the night relieves the guard of day.

Under the dark the daylight waits,
Over the sea withdrawn!
Now let the day bring calm or strife,
Rangering forth in love with life.
We have a tryst, a tryst to keep with dawn.

Taps

Day Time Taps

Thanks and praise,
for our days,
'neath the sun,
'neath the stars,
'neath the sky!
As we go,
this we know,
God is nigh.

Night Time Taps

Day is done,
gone the sun,
from the lakes,
from the hills,
from the sky!
All is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.

On The Loose

Have you ever watched a sunrise,
turn the sky completely red?
Have you slept beneath the moon and stars,
a pine cone for your bed?
Do you sit and talk with friends,
though not a word is ever said?
Than you're just like me,
and you've been,
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,
for I've only got a moment,
and the whole world yet to see.
I'll be looking for tomorrow,
On the loose.

There's a trail that I'll be hiking,
just to see where it might go,
many places yet to visit,
many people yet to know,
for in following my dreams,
I will live and I will go.
In a world that's waiting out there,
On the loose.

CHORUS

So in search of love and laughter,
I am travelling 'cross this land,
never sure of where I'm going,
for I haven't any plans,
and in time when you are ready,
come and join me,
take my hand,
and together we'll share what's out there,
On the loose.

CHORUS

Sing Along Here!

Like an Eagle

Born in the mountains,
the wind blowing free,
given by nature the wisdom to see,
power to heal and the strength to command,
child of our native land.

Chorus:
Fly far, like the eagle,
Be strong, like the eagle,
Soar high, like the eagle,
Live long, like the eagle,
When we come together in harmony,
like the eagle,
We'll be strong and free.

Circling and heeling and timing the sky,
looking at life through a far seeing eye,
searching and seeking and finding it there,
spirit of earth and air.

CHORUS

One sky above us, and one earth below,
life all around us and things that we know,
nothing to shadow the light of the sun,
everywhere we are one.

CHORUS

Let Us Sing Together

Let us sing together,
let us sing together,
one and all our joyous song.
Let us sing together,
one and all our joyous song.

Let us sing again and again,
let us sing again and agian,
let us sing again and again,
one and all our joyous song.

Everywhere Around the World

Everywhere around the world tonight,
Guides are singing,
'round the campfire light.

Sing along here!

Make New Friends

Make new friends,
but keep the old.
One is silver,
and the other's gold.

A circle's round,
it has no end.
That's how long,
I want to be your friend.

I have a hand,
and you have another,
put them together,
and we have each other.

Make new friends,
but keep the old,
one is silver,
and the other's gold.

This song can be sung as a round.

My Ship Sailed from China

My ship sailed from china,
with a cargo of tea,
all laden with goodies for you and for me.
They brought me a fan,
just imagine my bliss,
as I fan myself daily,
like this. like this, like this, like this.

Repeat while "fanning" yourself different ways...

One Tin Soldier

Listen children,
to a story,
that was written long ago,
'bout a kingdom on a mountain,
and the valley folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure,
buried deep beneath the stone,
and the valley people swore,
they'd have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbour,
go ahead and cheat a friend,
do it in the name of heaven,
you can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing,
come the judgement day,
on the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley,
sent a message up the hill,
asking for the buried treasure,
tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
with our brothers we will share,
all the secrets of our mountain,
all the riches buried there.

Now the valley cried with anger,
Mount your horses! Draw your swords!
And they killed the mountain people,
so they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
on the mountain,
dark and red,
turned the stone and looked beneath it,
Peace on earth,
was all it said.

Go ahead and hate your neighbour,
go ahead and cheat a friend,
do it in the name of heaven,
you can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing,
come the judgement day,
on the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.

Go ahead and hate your neighbour,
go ahead and cheat a friend,
do it in the name of heaven,
you can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing,
come the judgement day,
on the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.

Barges

Out of my window,
looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Silently flows the river to the sea,
and the barges too go silently.

Barges, I would like to go with you,
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, Have you treasures in you hold,
do you fight with pirates brave and bold.

Out of my window,
looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red,
you can see them flickering far ahead.

Barges, I would like to go with you,
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, Have you treasures in your hold,
do you fight with pirates brave and bold.

On My Honour

On My Honour,
I will try,
There’s a duty to be done,
And I say aye,
There’s a reason here,
For a reason above,
My honour is to try,
And my duty is to love.

No one needs to know my name,
If I’ve hurt someone,
Then I’m to blame.
If I’ve helped someone,
Then I’ve helped me,
And that’s the way,
That it should be.

I’ve tucked away a song or two,
If you’re feeling low,
There’s on for you.
If you need a friend,
Then I will come.
There’s plenty more,
Where I come from.

Come with me where the fire burns bright,
We can even see better,
By its own light,
We can find more meaning,
In a campfire glow,
Than we’ve ever found in a year or so.

We’ve a promise,
To always keep,
And sing day is done,
Before we sleep,
We’re Girl Guides together,
And when we’re gone,
We’ll still be a trying,
and a singing this song.

On my honour,
I will try,
There’s a duty to be done,
And I say aye,
There’s a reason here,
For a reason above,
My honour is to try,
And my duty is to love.

Sing Along Here!

The World Song

Our way is clear as we march on,
And see our flag on high!
It’s never furled,
Throughout the world,
For hope shall never die!

We must unite for what is right,
In friendship true and strong,
Until the earth,
In its rebirth,
Shall sing our song,
Shall sing our song.

All those who love the true and good,
Who’s promises were kept,
With humble minds,
Whose acts were kind,
Whose honour never slept!

These were the free,
And we must be,
Prepared like them to live,
To give to all,
Both great and small,
All we can give.
All we can give.

Canoe Song (My Paddle's Keen and Bright)

My paddle’s keen and bright,
Flashing with silver,
Follow the wild goose flight,
Dip, dip and swing.

Dip, dip and swing her back,
Flashing with silver,
Follow the wild goose flight,
Dip, dip and swing…
Dip. Dip and swing…

Good in a round, or with Land of the Silver Birch.
