Let's sit around an imaginary campfire


Let's sit around an imaginary campfire

Telling stories of our days

How we came to do this or that

All the factors along the way.


Let’s sit around an imaginary campfire.


Let's sit around an imaginary campfire

Catching up on things which have occurred

The places we’ve been to, seen, or experienced

Small things and big things, funny and absurd.


Let’s sit around an imaginary campfire.


Let's sit around an imaginary campfire

Talking about things which are a treat

Whether it's things we ate, or things we cooked

All the talking points that can't be beat.


Let’s sit around an imaginary campfire.


Let's sit around an imaginary campfire

Telling of our journeys to new places

The things which were surprising, and the things which weren't

All the sights, experiences, and faces.


Let’s sit around an imaginary campfire.


Let’s sit around an imaginary campfire.

Sharing our thoughts and insights

What we've learned by reading, listening, experiencing, or researching

All the information or thoughts we should bring to light.


Let’s sit around an imaginary campfire.


Let's sit around an imaginary campfire

And take a trip down memory lane

Talking and laughing about past moments we have never forgotten

And reliving them in conversation again.


Let’s sit around an imaginary campfire.


Let's sit around an imaginary campfire

And share what's in our minds and hearts

Life events we may be still processing.

And all that weighs heavily, present or past.


Let’s sit around an imaginary campfire.


Let's sit around an imaginary campfire

And not just talk, but hear

Let's be there for each other

Without anything to fear.


Let’s sit around an imaginary campfire.


Sure, it's fun to text and post, swipe left and right

But it’s no match for heartfelt talks, experience shows

So let's sit around an imaginary fire and talk, really talk,

Just like our ancestors did around a campfire long ago.


Just like our ancestors did around a campfire long ago.

Just like our ancestors did around a campfire long ago.


Let’s sit around an imaginary campfire.

Let’s sit around an imaginary campfire and talk...

Just like our ancestors did around a campfire long ago!
