The Foxfire Suite - John Denver

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 independance

A little less than nothin is a heavy load

From the heather to the highlands we have found the Smokey 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 rejoicind 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 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 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

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

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 so it goes
