Sunshine never felt so good
Makes me want to fly
Whippoorwill's song, lingering still,
Echoes through the summer sky
Perching on my windowsill,
It encourages me to flee
The song enwraps my wondering mind,
Always lingering still

"Lie beneath the sun-kissed trees,
Feel the current of the creek
Make memories with those you love--
Perchance to live, perchance to dream..."

"Shout gratitude to the Father
For days such as these.
Amongst the struggles of this life
He gives such sweet release.
For, in such struggles, trials, and tests,
He's along side, holding your hand,
Always lingering still."

Away, flew the bird,
To his evergreen reverie
Free to soar, free to sing...
Always lingering still
