Lyrics

Breathe in, breathe out, let's help those lungs

take a rest

Inside your chest are two little balloons

Dancing all day to your favorite tunes

Sometimes they get tired and need a little break

That's when the breathing machine wakes

With gentle puffs of oxygen

As soft as a breeze

Helping tired lungs breathe

With total ease In goes the air, out goes the sigh

Like a kite floating in the clear blue sky

The biomed tuned, the valve just right

Making every breath feel easy and light

Breathe easy, friend, you're doing great
