Intro  
Snow gathers quiet where the pine boughs lean,  
A still small whisper in the winter green.  
I step out slow through the silent scene,  
To offer up a prayer beneath the evergreen.

Verse 1  
The world feels heavy when the nights get long,  
But the frost still glimmers like a faithful song.  
I breathe it in where the cold is clean—  
And peace settles low beneath the evergreen.

Chorus  
So I bow my head in the winter hush,  
Let the holy night replace the rush.  
Every worry, every ache I’ve seen,  
Lifts like smoke from a prayer beneath the evergreen.

Verse 2  
There’s footprints fading where the wild deer roam,  
And the stars keep watch like lanterns hung at home.  
In the quiet glow of what might’ve been,  
I feel grace unfold beneath the evergreen.

Chorus  
So I bow my head in the winter hush,  
Let the holy night replace the rush.  
Every worry, every ache I’ve seen,  
Lifts like smoke from a prayer beneath the evergreen.

Bridge  
And the night reminds me I’m not alone—  
There’s a warmth that finds me, steady as stone.  
In the coldest places I’ve ever been,  
Love found its way beneath the evergreen.

Verse 3  
When morning rises with its golden sweep,  
And the snow holds footprints of the dreams I keep,  
I walk back home with a heart serene—  
Carrying my prayer from beneath the evergreen.

Final Chorus  
So I bow my head in the winter hush,  
Let the holy night replace the rush.  
Every worry, every ache I’ve seen,  
Lifts like smoke from a prayer beneath the evergreen.

Outro  
Snow gathers quiet where the pine boughs lean—  
And hope stays warm beneath the evergreen.

[End with soft piano chord and faint fiddle swell fading into wind.]
