I said a prayer,

and I asked heavenly father

to help me find the strength

as Laurel president

to be the type of leader

that I needed to be to help

us come together as a group,

and I feel like the answer

to that prayer was you, Lane.

Your unselfish and loving

example towards Phoebe

and your acceptance of all of us

showed me the type of young

woman that I want to be.

So I appreciate you saying

that we all helped you,

but the truth is

you helped us

so much more, so thank you.

Come here.

Ooh-rah.

Ooh-rah.

Okay, now can we say the prayer?

Well, you won't believe

what I'm gonna be

When it's time for me to run

It wouldn't

have been right to end camp

without finishing the last item

on the golden schedule,

the final talent show.

All right, listen up,

pipsqueaks.

Welcome to girls camp.

It felt good

to laugh after crying so much.

There won't be trouble

in the world no more

There won't be trouble

in the world no more

I even

prepared a little something.

Instead of complaining about

how old and cheesy

your camp songs were, I decided

to write a new, cheesy song

for you guys to learn.

This is my first time singing it

in front of anybody, so be nice.

Drove for miles

up this dusty road

I felt so lost and on my own

With you, with you

Life has had me up a creek

But I've been up here

this entire week

With you, with you

And I'm feeling

a little better

And I think it comes

down to a few small letters

T-o-g to the e, to the t

And then you add on "her"

And that's together

T-o-g to the e, to the t

And then you add on "her"

And we're together

Together keeps the bears

far away off in their lairs

Together we are dry

in the rain

Together here we are

underneath this sky of stars

Together we share

joy and pain

T-o-g to the e, to the t

And then you add on "her"

And that's together

T-o-g to the e, to the t

And then you add on "her"

And we're together

T-o-g to the e, to the t

And then you add on "her"

And it's together

T-o-g to the e

When camp was over,

I knew I wouldn't see most

of those girls anymore,

but that song would keep

their faces in my mind forever.

Together keeps the bears

far away off in their lairs

Together we stay dry

in the rain

Together here we are

underneath a sky of stars

Together we share

joy and pain

When I got home,

mom asked me how it was.

T-o-g

It was hard to explain.

It wasn't at all

what I expected,

but it was

exactly what I expected.

It wasn't scary,

but somehow it was terrifying.

It wasn't that fun,

but looking back,

it was a blast.

It was what it was,

and if you weren't there,

you just couldn't know.

No matter what happens

in my life I will look back

and be proud to say

that once I was a beehive.

I told you before that

I'd see you all again

I was scared, and believe me

I needed you to send

all your love with open arms

All your love with open arms

I needed you more than

I thought I ever would

You came to me and did

the best that you could

Close the door

and bless your heart

You gave it

everything you got

I know the end of the story

And the loss

turned out the same

Well, there's love,

and there's pain

And everything around you

just falls on you like rain

I opened the door

and I took that faithful step

I watch you sleeping for hours

as you dreamt

Our better lives filled

with happiness thrown away

You're a lonely mess

I know the end of the story

And the loss

turns out the same

Well, there's love

And there's pain

And everything around you

just falls on you

Yeah, everything around you

just falls on you

Yeah, everything around you

just falls on you like rain

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

When the storm is coming

and you need some cover

When the trouble's rising

Pulling you under

When the sun's on fire

And you need some shade

When your feet are moving

but you're going no place

I got your back

Hey, don't worry about that

Hey, I got your back

Hey, don't worry about,

don't worry about that

I got your back

Hey, don't worry about that

Hey, I got your back

Hey, I got your,

I got your back, back, back

Oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh

When your head

is swimming I'll be your air

When you run in circles

I'll be your square

When you stumble,

take a little tumble

And you need a hand

You don't need to ask,

yeah, 'cause I'm all over that

I got your back

Hey, don't worry about that

Hey, I got your back

Hey, don't worry about,

don't worry about that

I got your back

Hey, don't worry about that

Hey, I got your back

Hey, I got your,

I got your back, back, back

Oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh

I got your back

Hey, don't worry about that,

hey, I got your back

Hey, don't worry about,

don't worry about that

I got your back,

hey, don't worry about that

Hey, I got your back

Hey, I got your,

I got your back, back, back

I got your back,

hey, don't worry about that

Hey, I got your back

Hey, don't worry about,

don't worry about that

I got your back,

hey, don't worry about that

Hey, I got your back

Hey, I got your,

I got your back, back, back
