Spring is alive
Spring is alive In carolina Deep in the forest Where the foxfire glows High on a mountain Down in a holler Thunder and lightning 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 of the highlands We have found the smokie 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 lightning So it goes
You are
You are every morning 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 rejoicing You are everyone who greaves
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 shining You are where the rainbow ends You are why the war is over You are how the peace begins
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 night
Whisper the wind brothers and sisters Whisper the wind all the same Whisper the wind love one another Whisper the wind your precious name
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 lightning 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 of the highlands We have found the smokie 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 lightning So it goes
