4. **”Whispering Sky” Lyrics:**
[Verse 1]
In the heart of Appalachia under the whispering sky,
Two boys raised on mama’s melodies and daddy’s lullabies.
Strumming on old six strings, with dreams larger than life,
Underneath the whispering sky, we learned to fly.
[Chorus]
Whispering sky, tell us your secrets,
In your vast expanse, we find our essence.
Underneath your gaze, we strum and sigh,
Oh, whispering sky, you’ve seen us cry.
[Verse 2]
We’ve loved and lost under your starlit dome,
Our music echoes in valleys, through heartache and home.
We’ve seen the world change, as we sing our goodbyes,
All under your unfaltering watch, oh whispering sky.
[Bridge]
From the hills of Appalachia to the city lights,
We carry your stories in our songs, through days and nights.
Oh, we’re just two brothers, with our music held high,
Underneath the endless stretch, of the whispering sky.
[Chorus]
Whispering sky, share us your wisdom,
In your silent tales, we find our freedom.
Underneath your gaze, we strum and sigh,
Oh, whispering sky, you’ve seen us try.
[Outro]
As the sun sets, and the moon takes its place,
We’ll continue to sing, in your vast space.
Oh, whispering sky, under you we lie,
With our dreams and lullabies, under the whispering sky.
