Lyrics
Breathe in, breathe out, meet the machine
that helps lungs rest.
When somebody's lungs are tired and weak, and taking
a breath is a mountain peak, a shiny little friend rolls
up to the bed with a screen of gentle waveforms painted in red.
It's called a ventilator, clever and kind
The most supportive helper that you'll ever find
It mixes up the nitrogen and oxygen so sweet
Giving tired lungs a cozy little retreat
Proportional valves opening smooth and wide
Sending fresh oxygen on an easy ride
Flow sensors counting every milliliter cent
Measuring the pressure everywhere it went
The gentle bellows breathing in and out
Taking away every single worry and doubt
Inhale,
exhale,
steady and slow Helping little lungs recover and
grow Heated and humidified like tropical air
Wrapped up in biomedical tender care
Breathe with the rhythm, rest for a while
Wake up tomorrow with a great big smile
Dr.
Set the volume, Dr.
Set the rate And the smart computer keeps the airway straight
P -E -E -P pressure keeps the alveoli round
Like little balloons that never touch the ground
Biomeds test the bellows with an artificial lung
Making sure the alarms are in the right key song
The gentle bellows, breathing in and out
Taking away every single worry and doubt
Inhale,
exhale,
steady and slow Helping little lungs recover and
grow Heated and humidified like tropical air
Wrapped up in biomedical tender care
Breathe with the rhythm, rest for a while
Wake up tomorrow with a great big smile
Inhale the hope, breathe in
Exhale the strain, breathe out
Oxygen flowing to the heart and the brain
One, two, three, feel that fresh, clean breeze
The gentle bellows breathing in and out
Taking away every single worry and doubt
Inhale,
exhale,
steady and slow, helping little lungs recover and
grow. Heated and humidified like tropical air, wrapped up
in biomedical tender care.
Breathe with the rhythm, rest for a while, wake up tomorrow
with a great big smile.
Smile
Breathe easy
Lungs are strong again
