"Blue Ridge Hearts"
[Intro: extended Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Morning mist rolls soft and clear
Through holler and mountain fold
Blue Ridge hums so sweet to hear
A song that never grows old
[Chorus]
Where the rivers carve through stone and sky
And the echoes call my name
Through Cumberland Gap the eagles fly
In freedom's quiet flame
So keep these hills forever green
The heart of the Blue Ridge dream
[Verse 2]
Virginia's bridge of natural grace
An arch that stands so proud and tall
And caves that whisper in dark embrace
Their secrets kept within empty halls
[Verse 3]
Kentucky winds through forest deep
Where starlight finds its tune
Tennessee dreams where willows weep
Beneath a silvery moon
[Bridge]
I walk the Parkway's winding spine
Where clouds drift close and near
The ridges rise in sacred line
To every soul that's here
[Verse 4]
West Virginia's wild remains
A promise yet unbroken
May every voice in these mountain rains
Be nature's truth well spoken
[Chorus]
Where the rivers carve through stone and sky
And the echoes call my name
Through Cumberland Gap the eagles fly
In freedom's quiet flame
So keep these hills forever green
The heart of the Blue Ridge dream
[Chorus (reprise)]
Where the rivers carve through stone and sky
And the echoes call my name
Through Cumberland Gap the eagles fly
In freedom's quiet flame
So keep these hills forever green
The heart of the Blue Ridge dream
[Outro: Instrumental]
