Magic Penny

This song is one of my all-time favorites! Only a few sites sing it, Adams did, unfortunately Namanu (where I go now) doesn't. We would learn a verse to this song every night, and then on Thursday during the last campfire, we would receive a "magic penny". On Friday we would all trade our pennies with our new friends. I still have all of mine. :) This song gives a meaning to those pennies and helped to express the love we have for each other and the camp site.

A penny's made of copper

Love is made of heart

Magic is within us all

Too soon we must depart

A magic love is in the air

The spirit 'round you flies

A magic penny means I care

You're magic in my eyes

For a magic penny says the things no words can say

It's a silent song of friendship that has grown

To someone who gives back to you the love you give away

A magic friend will never be alone

For nothing can be had from a penny you don't spend

A love can never grow inside 'til given to a friend

I've learned so much from all of you I wish this would not end

But if we learn to share our love it will come back again

For a magic penny says the things no words can say

It's a silent song of friendship that has grown

To someone who gives back to you the love you give away

A magic friend will never be alone
