Lyrics

There's a mountain at the Hogback of town
Sure beats Hollywood when the lights go down
Say what you like 'bout the silver screen
Mama Nature paints a finer scene
Here on old Abenaki ground

Tilt of the earth none can blame
Rocky bones make a sturdy frame
A canvas filled with flowing shades
A masterpiece of gleam and fade
Can't hold a candle to her flame

Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
Starts most days at twenty past four
The sun goes down, the hills light up
So fill your bowl and raise your cup
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show

Introduce you to the people here
When the rivers rise, don't show their fear
To busy trudging down the road
To help a neighbor lift the load
Black and white, straight and Queer

Farmers and the builders help to grow
What the brewers and the artists, they all know
Freedom and Unity
Bound by necessity
Boil down a warm amber glow

My heart wakes up with the shine on the mountain
My mind slows down in the valley shade

Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
Starts most days at twenty past four
The sun goes down, the hills light up
So fill your bowl and raise your cup
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show

In the year two thousand twenty four
An April sky rarely seen before
New moon crossed before the sun
With Vermont and everyone
Sure bit us down to the core

Black circle crowned with silver light
Mind's eye cannot forget the sight
Friends and neighbors on the ground
Lookin' up you could see the sound
Day tried on the cloak of night

My heart wakes up with the shine on the mountain
My mind slows down in the valley shade

My heart wakes up with the shine on the mountain
My mind slows down in the valley shade

Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
Starts most days at twenty past four
The sun goes down, the hills light up
So fill your bowl and raise your cup
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
