Let's take hands in friendship
Today the skies are bright.
Sing a song of happiness,
A chorus of delight.
Dance into the future, Guides of many lands,
Celebrating, celebrating, as we all join hands.

We receive the gift of life
And the gift of choice.
We can grow each on herself,
Speak with her own voice.
Use our hands in praying, choosing, living,
And know ourselves and then begin to know the folk we meet.

Let's take hands in friendship
Today the skies are bright.
Sing a song of happiness,
A chorus of delight.
Dance into the future, Guides of many lands,
Celebrating, celebrating, as we all join hands.

We receive the gift of life,
Seize our chance and live.
Be prepared to lend a hand,
We have much to give.
Use our hands in serving, helping, sharing,
And know the joys of caring and loving all our lives.

Let's take hands in friendship
Today the skies are bright.
Sing a song of happiness,
A chorus of delight.
Dance into the future, Guides of many lands,
Celebrating, celebrating, as we all join hands.
