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
