[Constraints: no southern drawl, no country twang, neutral accent, clear and precise consonants, vocals: detached, low-toned baritone husky vocals with half-whispered intimacy—phrasing is slow, layered with melodic restraint, subtle harmonies, Every line feels like a confession wrapped in candlelight and shadow, subtle and emotional restraint, NON-DRAMATIC Delivery is intimate, layered, and dreamlike, neutral American vocals... polished production, no twang, no accent] [Verse 1] We draw the lines in our churches Try to teach the kids the way List the rules and definitions Like the truth might slip away But the more we try to hold Him In a box of what we know The smaller He becomes to us And the less our spirits grow [Pre-chorus] And I’ve been learning slowly How the wonder helps me see How each day reveals His presence In the places I might leave [Chorus] So I keep watching in the quiet For the signs I missed before Every morning starts the journey Every glimpse reveals Him more And the more I look, the more I see In the corners I ignored He’s not hiding from the faithful He’s the reason I explore [Verse 2] I used to think the journey Had a map I had to find Every step a test of knowing Every doubt a warning sign But the truth I learned yesterday Makes today’s new light ring true And the more I pay attention The more beauty breaks right through [Pre-chorus] And I’ve been finding daily That the search don’t steal the prayer It just fills it up with wonder From the things I find out there [Chorus] So I keep watching in the quiet For the signs I missed before Every morning starts the journey Every glimpse reveals Him more And the more I look, the more I see In the corners I ignored He’s not hiding from the faithful He’s the reason I explore [Bridge] Maybe grace was never measured By the words we memorize Maybe love was always bigger Than the boxes we devise And the freedom I keep finding Isn’t something to define It’s the seeing and re‑seeing Of a Presence intertwined [Chorus] So I keep watching in the quiet For the signs I missed before Every morning starts the journey Every glance reveals Him more And the truth I learned yesterday Makes today worth looking for He’s not hiding from the faithful He’s the reason I explore [Outro] He’s the reason I explore
