[Verse 1]
The verses tell a story, beginning with C and transitioning
through F and back to C, creating a conversational tone between
the narrator and his son:

G and F add a reflective touch as the father shares his
relationship with God and nature, inviting his son into this

[Chorus]
The chorus elevates the song's spiritual message. The
progression from Am to G, then F, and C illustrates the
sensory experience of God’s presence in nature:

The repetition of "Can you" questions guides listeners to
find divinity in the natural world, emphasizing a personal
and sensory connection with the divine.

[Chorus]

This part serves as a meditative pause, allowing reflection
on the song's themes.

reiterating its heartfelt invitation to witness and
believe in the divine through the beauty of the world:

those moments with loved ones. Through its chords and
lyrics, the song creates a bridge between earthly
experiences and celestial beliefs, inviting listeners
to feel the presence of the divine in every aspect of
