Favourite place

Yeah, Young Life nights, that was my favourite place

Big laughs, loud games, smiles on every face

Didn’t matter the day or the week I’d had

Walk in feeling okay, walk out feeling glad

Monday or Friday, didn’t care where we were

Liberton to Gorebridge, same joy, same cure

Jesus in the laughter, love in the space

Young Life nights — yeah, my favourite place

Verse 1

Soon as I walked in, music way too loud

Someone falling over, whole room cracking out

Leaders acting mad just to make us laugh

Losing every game but they didn’t care, nah

You felt welcome quick, didn’t need to pretend

Quiet ones smiling, loud ones all friends

Didn’t feel judged, didn’t feel small

Felt like I belonged, like I mattered at all

Jesus wasn’t pressure, He was part of the joy

Like love was the point, not the noise

Every week felt light, every night flew by

Always left smiling, yeah that’s no lie

⸻

Hook

Yeah, Young Life nights, that was my favourite place

Big laughs, loud games, smiles on every face

Didn’t matter the day or the week I’d had

Walk in feeling okay, walk out feeling glad

Monday or Friday, didn’t care where we were

Liberton to Gorebridge, same joy, same cure

Jesus in the laughter, love in the space

Young Life nights — yeah, my favourite place

⸻

Verse 2

Then every July, yeah the whole thing grew

Liberton and Gorebridge coming through

All together now, one big sound

Whole new energy when Americans came round

Week full of games, sun up to night

Inside, outside, everything felt right

Dancing and singing, sports all day

Different activities every way

New chants, new jokes, accents loud

Strangers on Monday, family by now

Leaders everywhere, joy on display

Best kind of chaos for a week in July

⸻

Hook

Yeah, Young Life nights, that was my favourite place

That July joy still written on my face

Didn’t need much, just people and space

Young Life love — yeah, that kind don’t fade

⸻

Verse 3

Then the week flew by, Americans heading home

Last night hugs, phones out, promises on the phone

Tears down faces, yeah we weren’t ready yet

Didn’t wanna say goodbye to the joy we met

Different accents, same hearts, same love

One week together felt sent from above

Even when they left, that feeling stayed

Joy in our hearts never really faded

Then camp came round, yeah another highlight

One whole week, early mornings, late nights

So many activities, never time to be bored

Every laugh louder than the one before

⸻

Bridge (Camp Week)

Cairn Brae days, yeah that place went mad

Singing and dancing till our stomachs hurt bad

Games all day, nights full of sound

Music echoing, joy all around

Food was amazing, plates never bare

Laughing at tables like we didn’t care

Best week ever, everyone knew

Too many memories for just one week through

⸻

Final Hook / Outro

Yeah, Young Life nights, yeah I still smile

Thinking ‘bout those days after all this while

From Monday laughs to July flames

From camp week joy to calling names

Young Life gave more than fun and time

It gave me joy I s
