The Song of the Adirondack Fairy Ring
Every year young fairies take a tour of New York City
To learn the ways of human-folk, the lovely and the gritty
Human-folk weave their magic, by arts and fine creation
They find some special ways to spend time on recreation
We fairies like to sing and dance and see the world outside
For joy and love and wisdom belong to fairy-pride
Fairy-folk serve Great Mother and guard the sacred wood
We pray for peace and harmony to protect the common good
We'll learn your culture, please learn ours, for knowledge is the way
To nurture hope for better things and see a brighter day!
We fairies like to sing and dance and see the world outside
For joy and love and wisdom belong to fairy-pride
Give thanks for blessings of the Earth and care for every life
When you visit forest lands, listen for our fife
The Adirondack Woodland Fae will sprinkle you with dust
If you respect our magic home and gain our sacred trust
We fairies like to sing and dance and see the world outside
For joy and love and wisdom belong to fairy-pride
Don't be surprised if in your parks you sense a mystic force
You may see us lurking there, if you believe, of course
Now sleep and dream of fairyland, and know that we are near
With practice and devotion, you can become a seer
We fairies like to sing and dance and see the world outside
For joy and love and wisdom belong to fairy-pride
