In Our Blood (lyrics)

        Introducing my newest song! These are the song lyrics to my newest song In Our Blood.  It is written to inspire more involvement in the movement to save Camp Walter Scott.  Such history.  There are allusions in these lyrics that some of you may not understand as they deal with camp traditions and references to hymns.  Video coming soon!  Thanks for reading :)  




In Our Blood
Dearly departed, here we gather grieve our loss
The deep-rooted oak tree is fallen down before us
With her bark engraved with lovers' names
In the beckoning summer breeze
I would fallow her into the dark
And we'd lean on the serenading song of the lark


So long- to the fair blue weather
So go -to the place we go to gather
Who knows? Will it ever get better?
Will the children carry on?


Send water if you wanna go fishin'
Bring a hammer if you need a little shelter
My son, do it for your daughter
When the cause is in our blood


The ruins of a library are counting down the days
'Til the modern man forgets his past comes home for now and stays.
He'll be gone with the setting sun
But he'll leave with me a new oak seed
With the stories told passed down to you
And all the secrets held at the sassafras root.



So long- to the fair blue weather
So go -to the place we go to gather
Who knows? Will it ever get better?
Will the children carry on?


Send water if you wanna go fishin'
Bring a hammer if you need a little shelter
My son, do it for your daughter
When the cause is in our blood


I feel the fresh wind blowin'
Through the sweet leaves of what we're growin'
We will work side by side and
They'll know what we've grown



So long- to the fair blue weather
So go -to the place we go to gather
Who knows? Will it ever get better?
Will the children carry on?


Send water if you wanna go fishin'
Bring a hammer if you need a little shelter
My son, do it for your daughter
When the cause is in our blood
And the cause is in our blood
