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

Chorus: (sung after each verse)
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?

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

Oh how my heart would love to sail with you
As you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window drear
As I watch you sail away from here

Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light
Harbor ahead and anchorage in view
I will find my resting place with you

Away from my window on into the night
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Taking their cargoes far across the sea
I wish that some day they'd take me

Girl Scouts Together
Girl Scouts together, that is our song
Winding the old trails, rocky and long
Learning our motto, living our creed
Girl Scouts together in ev'ry good deed

Girl Scouts together, happy are we
Friendly to neighbor far o'er the sea
Faithful to country, loyal to home
Known as true Girl Scouts wherever we roam

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

Amistad es lo que nos une
Y lo que nos hace progresar

On My Honor
Chorus: (sung after each verse)
On my honor, I will try
There's a duty to be done and I say, "Aye"
There's reason here for a reason above
My honor is to try and my duty is to love

People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm, then I'm to blame
If I've helped another, then I've helped me
If I've opened up my eyes to see

I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low, there's one for you
If you need a friend, then I will come
There's many more where I come from

Come with me where a fire burns bright
We can even see better by a candle's light
And we'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than we'll ever learn in a year or so

Made a promise to always keep
And pray "Softly Falls" before we sleep
We'll be Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be trying and singing this song

My honor is to try and my duty is to love

Softly Falls
(To the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree")
Softly falls the light of day
As our campfire fades away
Silently each Scout should ask
Have I done my daily task?

Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared
Ev'rything to be prepared?

We Change The World
(Words and music by Melinda Caroll, 1990, GSUSA)
Chorus: (sung after each verse)
Change the world, come with me
Time to let our dreams fly free
And it comes so easily, that is our way
Every moment we're alive
It's our love that will survive
In the Girl Scouts, together
We change the world

Sisters of every color
Friends from everywhere
We all make the difference
When we show the world we care
The Girl Scouts are our family
And they show us what we can be
And I believe together we change the world

In America
We have so much to give
To our sisters around the world
Who are struggling just to live
Light the light and do our share
Reach out your hand and someone's there
And I believe together we change the world
