Laid my bedroll on the cracked desert floor A million miles from any man-made door Smoke still rising from a dying fire Saguaro shadows reaching ever higher The coyotes singing low across the flats God's own choir trading howls in the black And I got nothing but the dirt beneath my bones A worn-out soul and a sky I've never known Lord, this beauty's gonna break me wide open Every star a word You left here unspoken Moon so full it bleeds across the sand I'm just a man trying hard to understand This cathedral wasn't built by any hand Horned owl calling from a palo verde tree Some old wind carrying the smell of rain to me Coyote pup crying somewhere in the brush The universe still breathing in the hush I've chased down deadlines, titles, money, noise And forgot to listen for these ancient voices And I got nothing here but what I need to see The whole wide holy world laid out in front of me Lord, this beauty's gonna break me wide open Every star a word You left here unspoken Moon so full it bleeds across the sand I'm just a man trying hard to understand This cathedral wasn't built by any hand I have wrestled with the darkness, I have doubted in the rain I have swallowed every failure like it swallowed up my name But out here in the nothing I found everything that's real God wrote it in the desert before man learned how to feel These coyotes know Your name better than the steeples ever did Every canyon holds a sermon that no preacher ever lived Lord, this beauty's gonna break me wide open Every star a word You left here unspoken Moon so full it bleeds across the sand I'm just a man, just a grateful, broken man Holding on to what I finally understand This cathedral wasn't built by any hand The coyotes fade to silence just before the dawn And I'm still here, still breathing, still holding on Just a man and all Your sky, Just a man and all Your sky © 2026 Synkov LLC.
