I know you're ready to go, br your bags have been packed for years. br I've watched you, twiddling your thumbs, br anxiously awaiting departure. br It's been a long trip, hasn't it? br I hope you got the chance to see all the sights. br br Each day spent here has been trying for you, br and I can see that you are homesick br when I look into your eyes. br Sometimes you think you've outstayed your welcome, don't you? br br It's hard for me to watch you br while you beg your legs to walk. br And I catch you once-in-a-while, br tears running down your cheeks. br I hate to see you helpless. br You were our rock for so long, br now all but gone. br br Have a happy flight, my rock, br my stone, my hero. br We don't want to keep you from home any longer.
