Echoes of the Ridge

Verse 1 By the creek under hemlock trees, Papa's voice rides on the breeze, Tales of old, lessons of the stream, Flowing like the currents in a dream. Chorus Echoes of the ridge, calling me home, To the whispered winds where the hawks roam, My heart's tethered to these wooded scenes, Appalachian songs, woven into my genes. Verse 2 Mama's melodies by lantern light, Ballads of the ridge, taking flight, Her lyrics linger in the mountain air, Stories of love, life, and care. Chorus Echoes of the ridge, calling me home, To the whispered winds where the hawks roam, My heart's tethered to these wooded scenes, Appalachian songs, woven into my genes .Bridge Stars above the Appalachian sprawl, Guide my way through the twilight's call, Each leaf and pebble, a tale to tell, Rooted deep in this verdant dell. Verse 3 Footpaths where the wild orchids lie, Speak of times that have passed me by, Echoes of laughter, echoes of tears, Carved in the bark, through the years. Chorus/Outro Echoes of the ridge, calling me home, To the whispered winds where the hawks roam, Forever bound to these ancient dreams, In Appalachian songs, where my spirit gleams. Chorus/Outro Echoes of the ridge, calling me home, To the whispered winds where the hawks roam, Forever bound to these ancient dreams, In Appalachian songs, where my spirit gleams.
