Reborn along this skyway 
You could feel your spirit fly
Every morning as you watched the mountains rise 
And when the sun broke through the early mist
You could see it in your eyes
The gratitude that comes from being alive 

Every day you felt the blessing 
Of an endless, open sky
On its ridges blue, you found the strength to climb
And in the star filled nights you saw the truth 
It was then you realized 
This is where your soul was meant to live and die 

So you walked the trails you thought would lead
To the peace you sought within
Hoping every path you chose would be the one 
And as you watched an eagle soar above
The clear blue mountain lake 
You could feel your dreams take off and touch the sun 

And I know why Blue Ridge Mornings make me cry
Like the mist that hugs the mountains 
I see you in their skies 
And though forever they will haunt me 
Whenever they roll by 
I know all your dreams came true
Blue Ridge Mornings never die 

Now the heavens roll across the pines
As the mountains say goodbye 
To the best of you as you make your final climb 
And every time I hear the wind blow 
Through the wild canyon hole 
I think of you and all the times you tried 

And now I know why Blue Ridge Mornings make me cry
Like the mist that hugs the mountains
I’ll always see you in their skies
And though forever they will haunt me 
Whenever they roll by
I’ll know all your dreams came true
Whenever they roll by
I’ll be with you 
Blue Ridge Mornings never die
Blue Ridge Mornings never die 
Blue Ridge Mornings never die
