Rainier Lyrics

I pass through an untainted wood

Of mossy spruce and towering fir

The silent forest reassures

That for the moment life is good

And passing by a laughing creek

I find a gap between the trees

And peering through it I can see

A lonely glaciated peak

As I gaze up the mountainside

I feel so minuscule below

Beneath the giant crown by snow

My sense of wonder won't subside

Oh I am blessed to be right here

Beneath the mountain of Rainier

Oh I am blessed to be right here

Beneath the mountain of Rainier

The trees grow smaller as I climb

And in their place grew fields of green

I walk into an alpine scene

A paradise untouched by time

And underneath this crown of snow

I could spend my remaining hours

Gazing at a million flowers

But I have somewhere else to go

An aching wells up in my heart

When I turn back and see up high

A mountain painted on the sky

I breathe a sigh and then depart

And as I leave I shed a tear

Until we meet again, Rainier

And as I leave I shed a tear

Until we meet again, Rainier
