Close my eyes and breathe in deep Oxygen fills my lungs This pocket of bliss raging blue and green A forest of pine dressed in the evening Welcome, my dear To the endless summer Welcome, my dear To eternity Welcome, my dear To the great adventure The gift of life Everlasting This hope here inside giving life to the fibers in me Permission to play is putting my heart at ease No longer a break or a moment in brevity But here and now I'll completely forever be Welcome, my dear To the endless summer Welcome, my dear To eternity Welcome, my dear To the great adventure The gift of life Everlasting Finally the fight is over Peace no longer a substance to obtain It's surrounding me in Your wild freedom Now I'm safe, no longer afraid Open my eyes, breathe deep as my heart leaps Beholding the golden sun as it slowly sinks The thrill of my Father in heaven ushering me Into the dark, I can hear Him whispering Welcome, My dear To the endless summer Welcome, My dear To eternity Welcome, My dear To the great adventure The gift of life Everlasting
