Carolina Strong

Storm clouds gather, shadowed sky above

Hearts united, bound by hope and love

Western Carolina felt the fury's might

Homes were lost but spirits stayed bright

Winds howled like a call to stand tall

In the face of destruction, we gave our all

Broken roads and fallen trees

Yet we believe in unity

Hands together, brave and strong

Singing our resilient song

Carolina strong, we rise again

From the ashes, like the sun after rain

Neighbors turning tears into prayers

Built it all back, showed we care

Carolina strong, through it all

Together we’re mighty, we’ll never fall

Muddy waters and battered towns

Voices calling, lifting up the crown

Kids laughing where tears once fell

In our hearts, stories to tell

Hearts pounding like the drum

Moving forward, beating as one

Stone by stone, wall by wall

We rebuild, we stand tall

Carolina strong, we rise again

From the ashes, like the sun after rain

Neighbors turning tears into prayers

Built it all back, showed we care

Carolina strong, through it all

Together we’re mighty, we’ll never fall

From the mountain peaks to valley streams

We’re stitched together like a dream

With every hand that lifts with grace

We’re rewriting our homeland’s face

So let the storms roll, let winds blow

Our spirit’s steady, it will always glow

Carolina strong, forever we belong

United, proud, and so strong
