Title: The Morel Season

[Verse 1] Up in the folds of the cold mountain side, Where the mist clings low and the tall pines hide, Lived a clan with hands worn tough as bark, Their hearts beat strong through the dawn and dark. [Chorus] Oh the morel season, bless the hills, Where the earth gives life 'neath the frost and stills. We reap what we find, by grace and grit, In a land that don’t forgive, but won't forget. [Verse 2] Mama brews tea with the fire so slow, Papa traps lines where the cold streams flow. Children run wild through the moss and fern, Learning which roots heal and which ones burn. [Chorus] Oh the morel season, we bow our heads, To the gifts of spring in our riverbeds. Through sleet and sorrow, we sing our due, To the fungi gold in the morning dew. [Bridge] Storms roll down like God’s own sigh, But we stand firm, and we survive. Each morel found is a tale retold, Of the ones before, and the hands they hold. [Chorus] Oh the morel season, sweet and wild, Feeds the soul of every mountain child. We gather with joy, through sweat and song, Where the humble thrive, and the proud don’t belong. [Outro] [Refrain] And the land, she loves the faithful feet, That tread her trails in cold and heat. Oh the morel season, it calls us home, To the green, the stone, and the wild unknown. [End]
