and i wish we could all go camping and lay beneath the stars.

"and I wish all the people I love the most

could gather in one place

and know each other and love each other well

and I wish we could all go camping

and lay beneath the stars

and have nothing to do and stories to tell

we'd sit around the campfire

and we'd make each other laugh

remembering when..."
