Spring is alive in Carolina
|
Deep in the forest where the foxfire glows
|
High on a mountain, down in a holler
|
Thunder and lightnin' so it goes
|
Over a hundred years ago we came to Carolina
|
Far across the water, it’s a long hard road
|
With little more than courage
|
We came seeking independence
|
A little less than nothin' is a heavy load
|
From the heather to the highlands
|
We have found the Smoky Mountains
|
Hard work and simple ways
|
And life is good, life is good
|
Spring is alive in Carolina
|
Deep in the forest where the foxfire glows
|
High on a mountain, down in a holler
|
Thunder and lightnin' so it goes
|
Part 2, You Are
|
You are every mornin' sunrise
|
You are every rain
|
You are every peal of laughter
|
You are every cry of pain
|
You are all the summer flowers
|
You are all the falling leaves
|
You are everyone rejoicin'
|
You are everyone who grieves
|
You are all my unknown secrets
|
You are all my hidden fears
|
You are known in lover’s kisses
|
You are seen in childhood tears
|
You are where the stars are shinin'
|
You are where the rainbow ends
|
You are why the war is over
|
You are how the peace begins
|
Part 3 Whisper the Wind
|
Whisper the wind over the water
|
Whisper the wind all through the night
|
Whisper the wind along the canyon
|
Whisper the wind into the light
|
Whisper the wind brothers and sisters
|
Whisper the wind all the same
|
Whisper the wind love one another
|
Whisper the wind your precious name
|
Part 4 Spring is Alive (Reprise)
|
Spring is alive in Carolina
|
Deep in the forest where the foxfire glows
|
High on a mountain, down in a holler
|
Thunder and lightnin' so it goes
|
Spring is alive in Carolina
|
Deep in the forest where the foxfire glows
|
High on a mountain, down in a holler
|
Thunder and lightnin' so it goes, so it goes |
