Shadows stroll over fields of green
languidly moving through space and time
A melancholy willow sways to the breeze
~ I embrace this moment as mine
An ocean of grass surrounds me
as I lay lost to time and care
I'm wooed by nature's lovesong
~ peace fills the air
No one sees me laying here
the world continues on its way
I'm lost to all responsibility
~ I find serenity in this day
Soon I'll return to busyness
Soon I will heed Duty's call
but for this moment I cease to exist
~ to everything but my Lord
I feel you, Lord, here with me
I feel your presence deep within my soul
I close my eyes and breathe you in
~ suddenly I am whole
You are my strength, my courage, my hope
You are the reason that I breathe
You are my heart's greatest desire
~ there's no place I'd rather be
When my journey comes to an end
and tomorrow is no more
I will step free from this world
~ and enter the arms of my Lord
Until then, I will take the time
to rest in fields of peace
reminding myself that I'm just passing through this world
~ heading toward eternity
