It is about the human health journey on micro and macro level. It is about the unexpected and scary experiences we experience as humans and the precious conversations we get to have along the way. We are all in the 'Waiting Line' and we don't know where we are in that line...
Waiting Line
(Writer: Jessie Che - Music & Lyrics)
Verse
Three chairs, at a social distance
Time to reflect, on my existence
Small talk fills the air
Of what we want after here
Share the weeks we have to go
Where we’re from ‘n who we know
Chorus
Waiting line…. Waiting line
Conversations in the
Waiting line…. Waiting line
We’re all just counting time…
Verse
The man beside me in his mind, is fishing
The other side wants to know her grandson
Small talk fills the air
For what we want after here
One thing remains the same
We wait in hallways for our name
Chorus
Waiting line…. Waiting line
Conversations in the
Waiting line………. waiting line…
We’re all just counting time…
Bridge
The sea in me, churns
When they say, it’s my turn
Blue angels glide my way
Hold my hand, and dig for veins
But in my arm, the rivers dry
So I bargain with the sky
Chorus
Waiting line…. Waiting line
I’ll only miss what I hear….. in the
Waiting line………. waiting line…
Everybody’s counting time…
The sky as seen from the courtyard of the Royal Adelaide Hospital
