Lyrics
Oh, the first light reaches the ridge
The road past barns and a covered bridge
Cases of cables, gauges and light
North Carolina Clinic, ready tonight
Dr. May meets us by the side door sign
Vaccine fridge is holding fine
We check every lid, every seal, every screen
Leave a clean set of tools where the nurses have been
Keep the doors open, keep the small room bright
For a child with a fever or a farmer at night
Hand to hand we carry what care requires
Mountain by mountain we keep old wives
North Carolina, hear that valley ring
A ready clinic can answer anything
The Ridge Road winds where the creek runs brown
Storm took power From the farthest town
We bring a battery
Test it back up twice
Mark the spare parts
And leave the checklist nice
No grand parade
No polished display
Just steady hands At the end of the day
A fiddle finds a note
A banjo answer's clear
And the folks at the clinic
No, we'll be here
Keep the doors open, keep the small room bright
For a child with a fever or a farmer at night
Hand to hand we carry what care requires
Life, mountain by mountain, we keep hope wide.
North Carolina, from the foothill to the stone.
A ready clinic means nobody faces it alone
When morning climbs the
Blue Ridge Blue The lights come on because we follow
through
