Everyone needs a favorite place on earth
One where you can close your eyes
And go
Whenever you are low
Mine is on a hill
With velvety green grass
The sounds of laughter
Where I don’t have to be an actor
There are girls of all ages
Behaving like sisters
Making friends that last forever
Just being clever
It is in the mountains
And there is a lake below
I sit and dream of a time
When my heart was filled with friends
I never wanted it to end
Camp Akiba was my summer home
It is a place I could roam
From one spot to another
Feeling love and hope
Sitting on that mountain slope
I close my eyes
And I am there
Free to be me
A person who is free
