Spring is alive in Carolina

Deep in the forest where the foxfire glows

High on a mountain, down in a holler

G A D

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

D A7

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

G A D

Thunder and lightnin' so it goes

D G D

You are every mornin' sunrise

You are every rain

You are every peal of laughter

Am D

You are every cry of pain

You are all the summer flowers

You are all the falling leaves

You are everyone rejoicin'

Am D

You are everyone who grieves

You are all my unknown secrets

You are all my hidden fears

You are known in lover's kisses

Am D

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

Am D

You are how the peace begins

Whisper the wind over the water

Whisper the wind all through the night

Whisper the wind along the canyon
