UTEE Song 2009
to the tune of Barricades in Heaven (Jackson Browne)

Driving down along route 6, our car pulls in
I was young and starry eyed.
No, I couldn’t fathom the strength of Owego kin,
The memories made or the tears we’d cry. 

Sunny days, S-F-A’s and hangin’ with my friends.
We all miss playin’ fox and hounds
Camp became our hideaway, to grow, and
to mature
Now as tents, we have formed as one. 

times are changin’
Pages of our lives keep turnin’
But on this very night our, hearts will
pound.
Glowing embers, long Decembers, leave us numb
Within the gates of blue and white, is where I’m from. 

Oh, my friends, our time is soon to end
Camp traditions and lessons learned
Bunked with kids, to teach us patience,
compassion
A motley crew, a united one.

times are changin’
Pages of our lives keep turnin’
But on this very night our hearts will pound.
Glowing embers, long Decembers, leave us numb
Within the gates of blue and white, is where I’m from. 

Owego dreams grasp me at night.
Voices of my friends
The stars bathing me in light
A Timeless fantasy.

Pages turnin’
Chapters done but were still yearnin’
Owego days, frozen in the mind.
Classroom dreamin’, memories screamin’, leave us numb.
Prepare yourself for what is to come.
Better leave the world behind you, when you come,
Within the gates of Lake Owego, is where I’m from.
