I wanna be at camp
Where the sun shines warm on your skin
And you can play all day and never go in
Where we teach kids how to love
Just like we were taught from God above
I don’t wanna be at school
Where you sit for endless hours
And in order to get out you’d need superpowers
Where no one believes in Jesus
And I swear the AC tries to freeze us
I wanna be in the canyon
Where rattlesnakes hide from the sun
And all God’s children are free to run
Where there’s not a worry on the earth
Except for showing the kids what they’re worth
I don’t wanna be at work
Where I stand for hours prepping food
Dealing with customers who are just so rude
Where I have to search for words from above
And carry out tasks that I do not love
I wanna be in the pool
Where mermaids emerge from their caves
And boys see who can make the biggest waves
Where we party late into the night
Because we know everything will be alright
I wanna spread the word of the Lord
Who we sing to at night
Because it’s the only thing that feels right
Who loves me fully no matter what
Because from his perfect cloth I am cut
I wanna share with you the good news
He provides me with courage and gives me sight
So I can become his loyal knight
This place I speak of, my wonderful hoard
A place anyone can come to know the Lord
