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
