Heartstrings in the Hurricane


(Verse 1)
I rolled into Carolina, where the skies were painted gray,
The winds of Helene whispered tales of yesterday.
Saw the fields once golden, now covered in broken dreams,
But the spirit of the South still shines through the seams.

(Chorus)
Oh, North Carolina, I feel your pain,
Through the tears and the heartbreak, you stand in the rain.
Tennessee, hold on, let your mountains be strong,
We’ll rebuild together, where the heartstrings belong.

(Verse 2)
Down in Tennessee, where the rivers used to flow,
The echoes of the storm left stories only the heart can know.
The Smokies stand tall, like a beacon of hope,
Through the storm’s fury, we’ll find a way to cope.

(Chorus)
Oh, North Carolina, I feel your pain,
Through the tears and the heartbreak, you stand in the rain.
Tennessee, hold on, let your mountains be strong,
We’ll rebuild together, where the heartstrings belong.

(Bridge)
Neighbors helping neighbors, hand in hand we’ll rise,
Through the rubble and the heartache, see the sun in our eyes.
With love and determination, we’ll mend what’s torn,
In the heart of the South, new dreams will be born.

(Chorus)
Oh, North Carolina, I feel your pain,
Through the tears and the heartbreak, you stand in the rain.
Tennessee, hold on, let your mountains be strong,
We’ll rebuild together, where the heartstrings belong.

(Outro)
So here’s to the spirit that never backs down,
In Carolina and Tennessee, love will surround.
Through the storms and the trials, we sing this song,
Together we’ll rise, where the heartstrings belong.
