[Verse 1] Moon pours silver through the Louisiana pine Crickets keep a steady clock beside mine A deer steps softly where the tall grass bends The whole wide night feels like an old friend [Chorus] Everything’s gonna be alright Under the cypress, under heaven’s light The owl calls out, then the dark grows still Peace settles low on the bayou hill [Verse 2] I sit on the porch with my boots in the dust Listening close to the world I trust A far-off splash and a whippoorwill cry Little green sparks drift and disappear nearby [Chorus] Everything’s gonna be alright Under the cypress, under heaven’s light The owl calls out, then the dark grows still Peace settles low on the bayou hill [Bridge] I count my blessings one by one For morning rain and the setting sun For every hand that helped me stand For mercy carried through this land [Verse 3] I thank God daily for the breath in my chest For shelter, for supper, for simple rest And when my road reaches its final bend I’ll meet Him thankful, my truest friend [Final Chorus] Everything’s gonna be alright Under the cypress, under heaven’s light The deer move quiet, the night owl sings I’m held by the love surrounding everything [Outro] Moon keeps shining through the Louisiana trees My heart is quiet, my soul is at ease
