Where the air is pure and I feel secure, at one with the sky and the land. There I know such devotion for the endless blue ocean. Could heaven be here where I stand? As I gaze out to sea, I can contemplate me and I believe I rest in God's hand. For here I am free and content just to be, a part of the wonders He planned.
