Lyrics

Dark skies late September, in the year twenty-four
The hurricane came raging, like a thousand-year storm
The rains swept down on mountain towns
Then came the floods and the mud
Not sure how you'll go on, but know you aint giving up


CHORUS
So when the storm it rages and the waters rise
When hope gets lost to darkness and think you won't survive
Ooh Ooh Ooh the sun will rise
Ooh Ooh Ooh the sun will rise


Then chainsaws blazed and people came through the Blue Ridge haze
All are kin and all pitch in, the Appalachian way
The prayers rose high above the water line
That mark the fury's toll
The days bring restoration when you see you're not alone

BRIDGE
Rise, for your hope comes with the dawn
Rise, for your shelter from the storm
Are those with you all along, Appalachian strong

TAG
Its been with you all along. With you all along. Its been with you all along.
Appalachian strong (X4)
