It was adopted unanimously by the Virginia Senate as the official state song of Virginia on June 30, 2015.[1] Sung to the traditional tune "Oh Shenandoah," with music arranged by Jim Papoulis, its lyrics were written by Mike Greenly.[2]
- You'll always be our great Virginia.
- You're the birthplace of the nation:
- Where history was changed forever.
- Today, your glory stays, as we build tomorrow.
- I fill with pride at all you give us—
- Rolling hills, majestic mountains,
- From Shenandoah to the Atlantic,
- Rivers wide and forests tall, all in one Virginia.
- For each of us here in Virginia,
- From farm to city dweller,
- All of us, we stand together.
- We're yours, we all are yours—
- Across our great Virginia.
- You'll always be our great Virginia.[3]
