[Intro]

[Bright, rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming with a steady kick-drum beat]

[Faint sound of crickets and a crackling campfire in the background]

[Verse 1]
The Cedar breaks are whispering beneath a violet sky
While the embers from the mesquite wood are dancing in my eye
I pitched my tent on limestone ground where the Guadalupe flows
Far away from city lights and everything I thought I chose
The air is cool, the silence deep, the world is falling still
Just a lonely silhouette atop a Texas hill

[Verse 2]
I looked up at the Milky Way, a ribbon made of white
Spilled across the darkness like a canvas in the night
And suddenly the questions that were heavy on my chest
Found a place to lay their heads and finally take a rest
I felt a hand upon my soul, a peace I can’t explain
Like the desert finally drinking in a long-awaited rain

[Chorus]
Oh, I found the Light in the middle of the dark
Underneath the Lonestar sky, He set a fire in my heart
Between the canyons and the brush, where the wild wildflowers grow
I met the One who’s walked with me everywhere I go
Higher than the Hill Country, deeper than the springs
I’m singing out a brand new song that only mercy brings

[Verse 3]
It wasn’t in a cathedral or a hall of polished stone
But sitting on a driftwood log, I knew I wasn’t alone
The Savior of the universe, the Maker of the stars
Is a witness to the Savior that I found among the trees

[Bridge]

[High-definition, crystal-clear vocals front and center]

[Upbeat tempo increases with a joyful mandolin lead]
From Fredericksburg to Wimberley, let the echoes ring
There’s a joy inside this canyon that makes the spirit sing
I came here looking for a view, a place to hide away
But I found the Way, the Truth, the Life before the break of day!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bright, soaring acoustic melody with sharp presence]

[Outro]

[Acoustic guitar fades slowly to a gentle fingerpicking style]
Yeah, He’s right here in the hills
In the quiet, in the still
Under the stars...
Just me and Jesus under the stars.

[Soft final chord]

[end]
