~ Reunion Song (for Eagle Island Alumnae) ~
Childhood,
So long ago and things can change
The sweep of time can rearrange
Things we hold dear
So yesterday,
I worried we would not be friends
And memories we would offend
But now it's all so clear
[chorus] You never left our Island
Never cut down your tall trees
Through the many years you grew
The challenges you knew
In calm and stormy seas
You never lost the music
Or your love of running free
All the changes you went through
You stayed true to you
And stayed true to me
We took different roads
You climbed the mountains
I walked the valleys below
To lovers and friends
Family and work
And causes we believe in
And after so long
There's still so much I recognize
Starting with the silver moon
Shining in your eyes
[chorus]
All the years when you stayed true
To the Childhood in you
Even though you never knew
You stayed true to me
