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 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
