Verse 1:
In beautiful North Carolina,
Where the hills roll far and wide,
The storm came without mercy,
But we stood strong, unified.
Chorus:
We are North Carolina strong,
Together we’ll carry on.
Hand in hand, we’ll rebuild this land,
Our spirit still shines on.
Verse 2:
Neighbors helping neighbors,
Churches opened wide,
Volunteers from near and far,
Working side by side.
Chorus:
We are North Carolina strong,
Together we’ll carry on.
Hand in hand, we’ll rebuild this land,
Our spirit still shines on.
Bridge:
From the ashes of disaster,
A stronger place will rise.
Through every act of kindness,
Hope lights the southern skies.
Verse 3:
Our roots run deep in this soil,
Through trials, we’ve endured.
This storm won’t dim our future,
Our strength remains assured.
Chorus:
We are North Carolina strong,
Together we’ll carry on.
Hand in hand, we’ll rebuild this land,
Our spirit still shines on.
Outro:
North Carolina strong, we’ll carry on,
Our home we'll restore.
North Carolina strong, we can’t go wrong
