Lyrics
Thundering Over Rainier
It?s thundering over Rainier
And the stars they fall from the sky
It?s the light of the fire in your best friend?s eye
It?s an eagle?s cry
Chorus
Like a baby
Learning to breathe for the first time
Learning to breathe in the mountains and canyons
And all that you see
It?s the blue of the ice at camp Muir
A climb through the clouds and the rain
A temple of stone in an ocean of white
The sun pouring through
There is life there
Struggle and pain in a fir tree
Twisted and bent by a winter of storms
And weight of the snow
But still there is beauty
Strength in the weak
Desperately struggling for life
Cries of the weak on the mountain
Cries to the author of life
Bridge
Singing bye-bye to the dreams of winter
Fields of lupine
Sun on your face
And you?ll cry, cry with the tears of the happy
Moments will leave and never come back
Chorus
