THE FOXFIRE SUITE
(John Denver)

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 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 very 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 lovers' 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
