I know, I am in the departing lounge
I have been there, my dear
From where only a few return
Too many tubes and machines
A suspended life on support.
Now that I am here,
It's a bonus, that was never in agenda,
'You never know'... they say
'You can't be sure' in life, ... about life
But now I know, I am sure
I am in the departing lounge.
Don't panic, my dear. Don't bother
Don't restrict my sky, don't prune my wings
I am in the departing lounge
I know I will be flying soon
Let me enjoy.
Let me enjoy, my dear, smile and laugh
Watch those little things
Those make life... life
And feel all that I missed
Trying hard to live, what seemed like a life.
