G        D                   G    D
Close my eyes and breathe in deep
G   D           G    D
Oxygen fills my lungs
G                    D               G     D
This pocket of bliss raging blue and green
G                D               G     D
A forest of pine dressed in the evening

[Chorus]
            G    D

[Verse 2]
     G                       D                     G  D
This hope here inside giving life to the fibers in me
    G                 D                   G   D
Permission to play is putting my heart at ease
   G              D               G      D
No longer a break or a moment in brevity
    G            D                      G   D
But here and now I'll completely forever be

[Bridge]
A      D              G    D
Finally, the fight is over
A             D                G     D
Peace no longer a substance to obtain
A                 D                G    D
It's surrounding me in Your wild freedom
A          D            G      D
Now I'm safe, no longer afraid

[Verse 3]
G             D                        G     D
Open my eyes, breathe deep as my heart leaps
  G                  D                G     D
Beholding the golden sun as it slowly sinks
    G                      D               G   D
The thrill of my Father in heaven ushering me
G                    D
Into the dawn, I can hear Him whispering

[Chorus]
            G    D
Welcome, my dear
               G      D
To the endless summer
            G    D
Welcome, my dear
         G   D
To eternity
            G    D
Welcome, my dear
