2023 Long Walk Song Lyrics

[To the tune of “Bright Morning Star” by The Oyster Ban]

Long Walk '23 is arising
It is dark and the moon is shining
We are hard at work preparing
Day is a breaking, in my soul

When did we become dear brothers?
We have pulled each other up mountains
We have hiked through rain and lightning
Nancy Brook is calling, in my soul

Each of us has fought with demons
We have been each other's guardians
See how we've turned into lions
Fellowship is forming in my soul

[To the tune of “Some Nights” by fun]

Some like the stanky leg, some like the knuckle draggers
Some like to do the Martin
Some trails feel like our feet might never be the same
Some trails we need a high 5 train
But we still get hype, we are blue not green
Bondalalay is the gas for this machine
(Ohh woah oh oh) Give it up for long walk
(Ooh woah oh oh) Give it up for long walk
Of 2023

Oh, were the long walk, were the long walk '23
Oh were the long walk, were the long walk '23

Day one we hardly break a sweat, from flume until Lafayette,
AMC hut knows that we're on the long walk
Chased off the peak by lightning strikes
Fluming the diggly at campsite
Greenie meanies work like a dream
Please no double-dipping in the Vaseline

Legs feel tight
Down in Nancy Brook for tub tonight
The Chili's warm, fills us with thoughts of what's ahead, what's ahead, we go to
Bed to get up at 4am

Tuesday is Moriah, the Carters and the Wildcats
Slow and steady decline broke most of our knees
Fuelled by Green Goblin, we rose to meet the challenge,
Prezzies will feel like a piece of cake compared to these
Oh it's days like this, that help us grow our wings
All this amazing lore to keep us going
(Ohh woah oh oh) Give it up for long walk
(Ooh woah oh oh) Give it up for long walk
Of 2023

Oh long walk x 4

Day three comes around, our third traverse
We take on the presidents one by one,
We see a wall, we smash it down
Through the clouds into the sun
24 hours and we'll show you grit,
Seize the day and then run with it
We are mountain goats, we are fever dogs
Maybe we will make it into Rachel's vlogs

Oh, were the long walk, were the long walk '23
Oh were the long walk, were the long walk '23

[To the tune of “California Dreamin’” by The Mamas and the Papas]

Stepped onto Sawyer Road
From the tunnel of trees
Got blisters on my feet (blisters on my feet)
Road walking is a breeze (it is a breeze)
We get back to our campsite (Back to our campsite)
Food never tasted so good (never tasted so good)
Long Walk '23
Is cruising like we should (cruising like we should)

We head to Vermont
As Friday comes around
Never been done before (never been done before)
Breaking new ground (breaking new ground)
Hell Brook's the devil's trail (Hell Brook devil's trail)
The forehead, nose, and chin (forehead, nose, and chin)
Long Walk '23
Rack up another win (another win)

We hit the hardest trails,
We had the toughest curve balls
We all had the chance to turn (had the chance to turn)
But the Long Walk calls (the Long Walk calls)
Triumph meets us at the bus (meets us at the bus)
Steak's a real treat (steak's a real treat)
Long Walk '23 (now we can rest our feet)
Long Walk '23 (now we can rest our feet)
Long Walk '23
Now we can rest our feet

[To the tune of “Bright Morning Star” by The Oyster Ban]

Long Walk '23 is returning
It is gold and the sun is setting
Sometimes words just can't explain things
Long Walk, forever be in my soul
