Haruo These are the Olympics - tune & song (10) These are the Olympics 02 Sep 20


A song of unknown authorship and tune (modification of BUNESSAN?)...

THESE ARE THE OLYMPICS

1 Morning has broken over 7-Lakes Basin
Wildflowers glisten with morning few
Lingering snowfields shine in the sunrise
Backpackers'faces, they're shining, too

Refrain (after each stanza)
These are the Olympics, mountains of splendor
Wilderness coastline, Forests sublime
These are the Olympics, a National Treasure
Preserved forever for all of mankind

2 Bright midday sun shines o'er Olympics' wild coastline
Sun, sand and sea-stacks gleam in its light
Sea otters sleep in shimmering kelp beds
Coast hikers marvel, "What a glorious sight!"

3 Shadows of evening o'er the Hoh River Valley
Murmuring river lulls us to sleep
Forest of Giants, Spruce, Fir and Cedar
Guard us till morning, Oh thy vigil keep
