Virginia
by Lynn K. Rinker

 
Verse #1

Virginia you are my homeland
How I love your gentle beauty
From Virginia Beach to the Blue Ridge Mountains
Rich in grace and history
You are always home to me

Verse #2

Dogwoods blooming in the springtime
Blazing colors in the fall
The softness of a summer twilight
Sweet honeysuckle fills the air
My heart will always lead me there

Verse #3

Mother to our Founding Fathers
Birthplace of Democracy
Your fields bear scars of raging battles
Witnessed the fight to set men free
The triumph of equality

Verse #4

Sunrise dances on your waters
Sunset paints your hills in gold
The Shenandoah flows to the ocean
From past to future yet unknown
Virginia always will be home
