On My Honor

On My Honor

People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm, then I'm to blame.
If I've helped another, then I've helped me.
And I've opened up my eyes to see.

chorus
On my honor, I will try.
There's a duty to be done and I say I.
There's a reason to be here for a reason above.
My honor is to try and my duty is to love.

I've tucked away a song or two.
If you're feeling low, there's one for you.
If you need a friend, then I will come
And there's many more where I come from.

chorus
On my honor, I will try.
There's a duty to be done and I say I.
There's a reason to be here for a reason above.
My honor is to try and my duty is to love.

Friendship is the strangest thing
If you keep it to yourself, no reward will bring
but you gave it away, you gave it to me
and from now on great friends we'll be.

chorus
On my honor, I will try.
There's a duty to be done and I say I.
There's a reason to be here for a reason above.
My honor is to try and my duty is to love.

Come with me where the fire burns bright,
We can even see better by the candle's light.
And we'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow,
Than we've ever found in a year or so.

chorus
On my honor, I will try.
There's a duty to be done and I say I.
There's a reason to be here for a reason above.
My honor is to try and my duty is to love.

We've a promise to always keep.
And to pray "Softly Falls" before we sleep.
We are Girl Scouts together and when we're gone,
We'll still be trying and singing this song.

chorus
On my honor, I will try.
There's a duty to be done and I say I.
There's a reason to be here for a reason above.
My honor is to try and my duty is to love.
