ALMA MATER FOR THE CIT'S OF 19831

ALMA MATER FOR THE CIT'S OF 1983

A flower needs the sun, just as we need warmth, But we can both be wounded by a violent storm.

Life is the symbol that the flower shows, So are our friendships that grow and grow.

Charlie Brown has a,Message for everyone,That money can't buy true friends and fun.

CHORUS

Friends are always for each other through all kinds of weather Friendships are like a blanket keeping us secure, forever.

The village is the place that we all yearn for, A place to, escape all our pain and woe. And when we return to work here-, next year,We'll look to the village and shed a tear.

CHORUS

Happiness is being together once again, Sharing good times and seeing old friends.

So here we are again, back at Y.C.C., The only one's remaining from the CIT’S of '83

Because we are so old, we forgot our song, So we made up some words forgive us if they’re wrong

CHORUS x 2

CIT’s of 1985 If we could get the chance, we’d do it all again, One day we’ll look back to all our summer friends The dream we filled, the times we had, all went by too fast No one can take away the memories of our past, now that it’s over We all realize Without each other We could never survive CHORUS: Village unity Will never slip away Summer of ‘85 There is something we must say That we have lived together, laughed together, Shared each other hardships

Cried together Strived forever Dreaming all our dream (as one)

Toronto/Stratford, and the Y we’ll remember well Niagra up to Embro, the stories we could tell Canoe trips were a challenge But we pulled it though Placement was exhausting, all that work to do The trips we made together left there marks And if we could keep these memories Our souls will never part…… CHORUS

VILLAGE 86 We came to camp unaware Of what would happen and what we would share So many faces, so few that we knew The friendships we'd make, we'd hope they stay true But doubt filled our minds, impressions deceived Making it hard for us to believe That our Year long fantasy would be Our summertime reality And trust & loyalty will prevail The days passed on & on Our friendships were still growing strong During placement we realized Without each other we couldn't survive Scattered thru main camp, we all did roam Deep in our hearts the Village was home And so Our year long fantasy became Our summertime reality And trust & loyalty does prevail Then off to Stratford we went It was here the CITs spent A week of humour and unity Returning as a family Canoe trips strengthened what had begun Making all of our dreams as one While Year long fantasy was Our summertime reality And trust & loyalty did prevail. (KEYBOARD SOLO) The summer has come to an end Upon each other we'll no longer depend Reality we now must face The mem'ries we had will never erase To our staff, you're beyond compare Thanx for the laughter & love that we've shared And now as tears do fill our eyes To our Village we say our goodbyes And to each other no words can explain

Page 5: Village 1981 Willy Wonka and his Chocolate Factoryyccvillage.tripod.com/lyrics/LYRICS.pdf · Village 1981 Willy Wonka and his Chocolate Factory ... Thanx for the laughter & love that

Our feelings of love will always remain (2x) And now our Year long fantasy has been Our summertime reality And trust & loyalty shall prevail.

SENIOR CIT 1988 ALMA MATER

When we came to camp this summer High hopes we did speak Of the place that people called the Village Our home for 7 weeks And when we found ourselves together our friendships were renewed Supporting dreams of one another To help them be pursued Toronto, placement, tripping too Shaw, Niagara, and the zoo Are some things that we did to be together CHORUS So we look back and we see Best times came in unity Where the Village was our home And the faces, PAUSE were all known And it’s just like Dawn to dusk Now it ends as all things must Good friends and times will comfort us 2X Talking on the tree house levels Saying what we feel Sharing trouble and revealing secrets, finding out what’s real With the staff we pulled together Standing side by side Senior CIT’S the summer of ’88 prove Friendships Never Die Although sometimes it has to rain The sun will shine through once again And in our hearts we’ll always be together CHORUS

Village 1989 DEDICATED IN LOVING MEMORY TO SALLY GOLDSTEIN Our friendship started weeks ago When together we did come Not knowing what lay ahead The good or bad, the rain or sun Toronto, Shaw the Falls Together as a family Sharing everything we are Never let it end Coming home we continued to grow We never thought that it would end Then our family was torn apart And our hearts we had to mend Together with our friends The fiery storm we made it though Fifty-five of us hand in hand We saw the sun. CHORUS CIT’S Learning and living together Sharing our laughter and love Dreaming our dreams as one We won’t go down And in the end, we all knew That we would always have one another Bringing us together through The good times that we’ve shared. Once again our family grew And they helped us through it all Then trips and placement came But we knew we’d never fall Working on the play Rehearsals going night and day Fifty-eight of us hand in hand Still standing strong

CHORUS CIT’S Closing a decade together Calling the village our home We will never forget Summer of ‘89 And in the end, we all knew That we would always have one another (2) Bringing us together through The good time that we’ve shared

Village 1990 1 of 1

Village 1990 We were joined together Destined friends forever At first so unaware What we were bound to share Initiation 14 days Helped us grow in many ways For the village we did long That is where we now belong On our trips we opened up These priceless memories can’t be bought Chorus: We’re going to fly and soar through the skies

United like the oceans onto the shore The summer is our hourglass and we are the glimmering sands of time, We’re going to fly and soar through the skies And as we part of separate ways we Pack our bags of memories of village days Time may come and time may go and change May someday show but for now we will remember CIT’s of ’90 live forever. We’ve come to feel like sisters and brothers We can’t let go of one another

CHORUS

Village 1991 1 of 1

Village 1991 It started off 84 of us We hardly knew one another The rain drops that crashed down They washed away our fears We knew these memories would last years. For 11 days, we joined main camp Making friends, while we trained as staff Niagara, and shaw Wonderland we broke the law. But the village will always be our home Chorus: Village ‘91

Summer to remember To the roof We were lead “It’s up to you!” Dave said. We shared our laughter and our pain Friendships made will all remain… Now a family, How it hurts to say Goodbye

The mountains high, The water rough But in the end we all pulled through it Working on the play, we got closer everyday And here today we stand together as one Chorus DA NA DA DA NA NA 2x Things happen, things change But in the end it’s all the same Village people will survive Tonight WE sing in our pride VILLAGE ’91, STEALING THE FLAGS, CITS OF ’91 WAS A BLAST!

Village 1992 The memories we hold have just begun Embedded within us for all time to come We came here from our separate ways We only wish that we could stay Despite the hardships of mother nature The smiles exist in us And thanks to Yves, Boston We’ve seen Through the windows of our bus CHORUS: Can you see the light that’s shining? Can you hear the love that’s echoing on?

And our friendships like no others Bonds like those of sisters and brothers CIT’s of ‘92 There’s nothing we haven’t been through

The times we’ve shared bring us together There is no problem we can’t mend With 59 in our family tree We’re sure to always find a friend Water fights, eggs, pranks and raids Our laughter will not fade Long trail conquered, paddled granet Whale watching and our play CHORUS Within our hearts burns the feeling that The village is our home It feels, like we’ve climbed the heights of mountains For that’s how much we’ve grown Through Boston, placement, initiation We’re fighting to stay strong And in the end, tears will shed For here’s where we belong Can you see the light that shining? Can you hear the love that’s echoing on? And our friendships like no other Bond like those of sisters and brothers Can you see the light that shining?

Village 1993

Our friendship here were foundIn a place where we were boundAnd the village is our homeNever let go.

As we sailed into the nightShadows faded and we saw the lightAnd we learned to live as oneIt had begun

CHORUS: The sun raise upAnd we met the villageA fire burning inspirationWind flows through us as we embrace itAnd the music fill our heartsAs we approach these final hoursThe darkness makes the stars shine brighterThe hands of time are slowing fadingBut our names are carved in stone

Village 1994

Came together, strangers with hopeExpecting all the bestThis summer, stories we’ve heardWe hope to one day share

Through the darkness, anxious to testThe waters, feel the warmthWe started making our wayWe finally reached the shoreWe knew we’d come together

CHORUS:No good-byes!If you believe, like a flameOur village burns so brightThat even rain, couldn’t drownThe sparks that in our memories remainVillage 94, is not one year but moreIt is a lifetime, if it’s in your mind, and your soul

Made a journey, changing the pathWe found our common groundThey told us couldn’t compareYet hear our echoes sound

Came together, no one unknownThe FORCE of friendship sharedWill always lead us back homeUnited we all swearWe knew we’d come together

No good-byes!If you believe, like a flameOur village burns so brightThat even rain, couldn’t drownThe sparks that in our memories remainVillage 94, is not one year but moreIt is a lifetime, if you believe…

DON’T STOP SINGING!!

Village 1995 1

Village 1995

Do you remember not too long ago?When our hearts were filled with hopes and fears.And the village stood dividedBut our laughter and our smiles came to guide us.

As the sun rose up we made our way,From our village to a far off place.As we struggled through the hardships,How we longed for the warmth of a familiar face.

CHORUS: As the sun begins to fadeOn the journey we have made,We’re bound together by the threads of time.And this village will surviveHand in hand we come alive,We will remember … CIT’s of ‘95

Do you remember how we felt that day?When the time had come to pass the test.There was HAVOC through the unit,But when the truth was revealed we moved along.

We slowly traveled to unconquered landReaching heights we though we’d never see.Though we sailed through rough watersWe came to the surface as a family

CHORUS: As the sun begins to fadeOn the journey we have made,We’re bound together by the threads of time.And this village will surviveHand in hand we come alive,We will remember … CIT’s of 95

As we walk our path a final timeSeparate destinies await us.No matter where are tomorrow,We’ll find a memory of a place we knew as home.

Village 1996 To all the people who have spent their summer living in our village home. We thank you now But it’s our time to carry on. Together we have made so many memories of joy, And love and tears, laughter and fears, And our Village will live one through the year Chorus: OH

And the echoes from the past The spirits they will last And the footsteps that were made Down the path they lead the way Since our souls will never be gone Then tradition carries on We’ve surpassed what the ghosts have done We come together all as one

And from the start we were apart as individuals Scared at first, with unknown goals Unsure of what the future holds And over time we did combine our toe-nails painted red In unity, for all to see Blood Brothers between you and me Chorus And in the end the end We will all look back on our Village days Filled with pride We never thought our laughter would make us cry OH And the spirits they will last And the footsteps that were made Down the path they lead the way Since our souls will never be gone Then tradition carries on We’ve surpassed what the ghosts have done ’96 we’re all as one

Village 1997 Souls winding this way and that way Flowing to an unfamiliar place Eyes open brightly with wonder Trying to understand the simple grace Open like a sunflower in the morning Welcomes us with beauty so serene Chorus: Over the water there lies a heaven

That is the spirit of village ‘97 And through the darkness is heard a song For when we sing together our voice is strong And with every rush of the tide We melt into each other our fears subside Even after tears we will strive Our minds full of wonder Our hearts will soon…open wide As we swim into the tide

Thoughts pouring out under starlight Wrap around us in a warm embrace Building our home out of pure love as we see each new familiar face The summers whisked away by sweeping breezes But the magic in our memories, they remain CHORUS The summer’s whisked away by sweeping breezes But there’s magic in our memories they remain Will remain x2

Village 1998 The wind blew past, it all began We were strangers in the dark Needing love to light the way We were lonesome in our hearts Once defined as separate souls All searching to belong Found comfort in our village home United we stand strong In the distance Beyond the shadows Awaits a whole new world Found each other Outshined the thunder Tears and smiles that lasts forever Cried together Laughed together As friends we can’t go wrong The summer’s gone And now we stand Before the door Hand in hand And we all know our memories will live on Our village lives, will shine in our eyes We had a dream that was realized We’re gonna rise, ‘till we reach the skies. CHORUS Village ’98 (oh!) Through the open gate When the last star is gone (oh!) We will still shine on Walking down a darkened road Miles away and back to home Crossing bridges, over paths We will never be alone

Like a web with silken strands We are intertwined as one With no force to break our bonds We will rise up with the sun The sparks and flames Of candles glowing Will see us through the mist Like a chain That’s linked together A lasting faith with strength forever In the heaven, we have created Our trust will reach the stars Our spirits soar Through the sky We stand up strong Our heads held high With pride instilled There’s no day but today BRIDGE & CHORUS As we turn from page to page In the book of life Songs and stories of our summer days Will guide us through the nights Our links have tightened on our chain Yet our lives pull us apart As we leave our village home Forever in our hearts We turn around We walk alone Wishing we could stay Protected by United fate We say good-bye to yesterday From the ends Are new beginnings Our hopes have come alive.

Village 1999 As the sun makes its way through the clouds The first rays of light shine upon our Village ground Footsteps freshly engraved On a path that’s already been paved now, we lead the way As we made our way home For the first time Chorus: Village ‘99

In our hearts we’ll be together ‘Till the sun fails to shine ‘Till the end of time side by side our souls will all unite Village ‘99

Blue skies appear overhead The warmth of the sun reaches out and brings us in Now we stand as a family of friends A power so strong that no storm can ever contend As we made our way home For the next time CHORUS Reflections of gold on the lake They whisper to us that the moon will soon awake Colours of love fill the air We’ll always hold on to the day that we all share As we made our way home For the last time BRIDGE And through the trees our home does await With dirt on our faces we all kissed the gate Our tears sealed the change, from strangers to friends in a summer And forever more. Remembering these days brings a smile to our face The memories we’ve made we will always embrace We’ll learn and we’ll grow But never let go of each other FINAL CHORUS

Village 2001 Raindrops falling to the ground They trickle down the path Guided by a knowing breeze Blowing from the past And we were 72 standing alone in the rain Waiting for the sun to shine down Each of us knowing that we had an ocean to gain But still unsure of what we had found Staring out from the shore It leaves us wanting more… Chorus: Life Begins Where the path it ends In our memories That’s where our souls blend Friendships nourished by the rising sun Our home has become VILLAGE ‘01 Fire burning in the distance Laughter fuels the flames As our bond is growing stronger It slowly ends the rain And like the fire our summer is burning bright It leads us home when we lose our way Much like the embers that glow into the night In our hearts we will always stay… A family bound by love Gazing at the skies above…

Chorus: Life Begins Where the path it ends In our memories That’s where our souls blend Friendships nourished by the shining sun Our home has become VILLAGE ‘01

And we are 72 leaving the village behind We feel the sun as it shines down And as we travel the path for our very last time We hold on to what we have found Say Goodbye: When these days are gone and over Time will whisper in our dreams

And as the raindrops were drawn together Now they must part and form streams

Staring back at the shore Always wanting more… Loopy-Loop: Life begins Where the path it ends

In our memories That’s where our souls blend Friendships nourished by the setting sun Our home has become…

Life begins Where the path it ends In our memories That’s where our souls blend Friendships nourished by the setting sun Our home has become VILLAGE ‘01

Village 2002 The wind whispers songs through the trees, Uniting our hearts with the breeze, It feels so serene. The ebb of the tide sets us free, It turns us around and we see, Our dream. We wake with sunlight on our face, 62 strong, And as our friendship radiates, The wind blows on. Chorus: Our stories told,

Our lives unfold, With our memories embedded in our souls. We leave this place, Without a trace, But the bonds we made can never be erased. We will stay true, As the wind blows through,

VILLAGE ‘02 We walk down the path and we feel, The shadows that seem all to real, We hide, within ourselves, But then as the clouds start to clear, The wind blow away all our fears, We’re home. We live with wonder on our face, As we strive on, We found our love that we embrace, The wind stays strong. Chorus And as our breath is stolen, Our hearts are broken As we are leaving, our home. Just as our dream was fading, The wind blew strong and restored our song. Chorus

Village 2003 Alma Mater: Village Dreams

Verse

Sunlight breaks out, pushing the darkness away.Fire, burning, turning our night into days.Reflexions concealed by the mist on the water, it burns our eyes.Rays of light, coming into sight, lighting up the sky.

Pre Chorus

As we feel the warmth, of the village, 2003….

Chorus

Building our home, so much is unknown, open our eyes and see we’re not alone.We’ve only begun, we stand here as one, and now the summer is our rising sun.As the day starts, we open our hearts, to village dream.

Verse

Our lives, merging, watching out souls all align.Nature’s, beauty, slowing the passing of time.The sun’s at its peak as gleams down upon us, it lights our lives.Distant night, coming into sight, colors paint the sky.

*** Pre Chorus ***

Sharing our home, how we’ve all grown, keep our eyes open we’re still not alone.We’ve only begun, we stand here as one, and now the summer is our blazing sun.As the days give, our lives we live, in village dreams.

Bridge

The colors above fade to blackWe see the stars fill the sky….The flames of our memories burn on ….Pre Chorus

Chorus #3

Leaving our home, our tears are now shown, wipe off our eyes and see we’re not alone.We’re only begun, we stand here as one, and now the summer is our setting sun.As the day ends, we’ll all remain friends, with village dreams.As we feel the warmth….of the village…..village dreams.

Village 2005 One step behind The shadows surround us Colliding with those of the past Caught in a moment Living the legend Reviving a light that’s been cast As our summer tries to find The road we had in mind Moonlight fills the sky Igniting the fears we defy Guide us ….to the ….to the unknown Chorus: With each of our strides, the walls they subside, They drift away We’ve conquered our tears, and drowned all our fears In the night We’re leaving our mark, as we break through the dark It paves the way And we can’t deny the power inside of ourselves The shadows come alive, for CIT’s of 05 Right by our side Immersed in the memories Nothing has changed, but our lives The sun lays to rest We search for our reason A reason to wake from our dream As our summer tries to find The road we had in mind Moonlight fills the skies Turning our fears into ties Guide us …to the …into the night Chorus Bridge: As the torches burned Shining light into their eyes A family soon to learn The life for which they’d strive

As we finally come to face That the shadows will take our place Their essence now defined No longer a need to hide

Guide us …to our …into our home! Chorus

Village 2006 Village Portrait

From far beneath unsettled surface coming into view, The clouds distorted by uncertainty, Anticipation floating slowly upwards, amidst the water, Steps away from our reality. And we’ll learn to coexist, So the memories can subsist… with Village two thousand and six CHORUS 1

As we paint our portrait, Using moments we create, With our image now in focus, And a love that’s found its place.

Now that we’ve reached our summer’s peak the clouds drift by our side, Calming, soothing every motion, We gaze towards our woven tapestry from, above the sunrise, The end result of our devotion. And we’ve learnt to coexist, So the memories can subsist… with Village two thousand and six CHORUS 1 CHORUS 2

And we’ve come to see, everything feels stronger than it seems, Our voices set us free, it’s just as though we’ve walked out of a dream… a dream.

BRIDGE

A legacy forever growing… woah oh – whoa oh – whoa oh The spirit is forever changing… woah oh – whoa oh – whoa oh And we’re all forever watching… woah oh – whoa oh – whoa oh

And we need to coexist, So the memories can subsist… with Village two thousand and six CHORUS 1 CHORUS 2 And we’ve come to see, everything feels stronger than it seems, Our voices set us free, it’s just as though we’ve walked out of a dream. And we’ve come to see, everything feels stronger than it seems, Our voices set us free, it’s just as though we’ve walked out of a dream… a dream. Woah oh – woah oh – woah oh Woah oh – woah oh – woah oh

Village 2007 1 of 1

Village Alma Mater 2007 Breaking from inside, our roots begin our lives, And though we try to hide, our hopes and fears uncovered, With earth now pushed away, the land is ours to claim, Truth seeps through the ground, our essence has been found. Pre Chorus Embraced by movement from the nature we’re within, Leading us to where we’re certain. Chorus As our branches reach beyond our Village core, Our memories sprout from a legend, The summer now will remain ours forevermore, Marked by the spirit of ’07… … We’re no longer alone. Gazing from above, we grow within our love, The future we dream of, no longer undetermined, As silence now creeps in, the rustling is our din, Connected by this sound, our purpose has been found.

Pre Chorus Embraced by movement from the nature we’re within, Leading us to where we’re certain. Chorus As our branches reach beyond our Village core, Our memories grow into legend, The summer now will remain ours forevermore, Marked by the spirit of ’07… … We’re no longer alone. Bridge As we strive against the darkness we perceive, The forest lit up by the sun trapped in our leaves, While we move against the depths of our desires, we believe… … In the memories of the trees.

Pre Chorus Embraced by movement from the nature we’re within, Leading us to where we’re certain. Chorus As our branches reach beyond our Village core, Our memories flourish as legends, The summer now will remain ours forevermore, Marked by the spirit of ’07… As our branches reach beyond our Village core, Our memories define our legend, The summer now will remain ours forevermore, Marked by the spirit of ’07… … Found our home… … Seeds are sown… … We’re no longer alone.
