(yes, this is bringing up a really dead thread, but since I've been looking for YEARS for the original singer of On the Loose (which I too learned at camp), I am now a very happy camper). The lyrics which I know (though there are a few variants that I've heard, particularly of the pine boughs line): ON THE LOOSE (Judith Keller) CHORUS On the loose to climb a mountain On the loose where I am free On the loose to live my life The way I think my life should be. For I've only got a moment And the whole world left to see I'll be looking for tomorrow on the loose. Have you ever watched the sunrise Turn the sky completely red? Have you slept beneath the moon and stars With a pine bough for your bed? Do you sit and talk with friends Though a word is never said? Then you're just like me and You've been on the loose. On the loose to climb a mountain… There's a trail that I'll be hiking Just to see where it may go Many places yet to visit Many people yet to know So in following my dreams I will live and I will grow On a trail that's waiting Out there on the loose. On the loose to climb a mountain… So, in search of love and laughter I'll be traveling through this land Never sure of where I'm going For I haven't any plans. So in time when you are ready Come and join me, take my hand, And together we'll share life Out on the loose On the loose to climb a mountain…
