WEST VIRGINIA CHILD West Virginia Child, look up. Dream mountain dreams. These hills that have been gutted - scalped - stand firm. Though mountain winds blow cold the mountain trail still rises. Your heritage is faith, pride, courage. Climb on, and having gained the crest stand tall, sing out "Im a West Virginia child." - Jeanne Wilson
