[Verse 1]
It came completely out of the blue.
I was assigned a business trip.
The destination was Sweden.
Oh no, what am I going to do?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I’m traveling with the project leader on the way there.
But apparently, I’ll be on my own after that.
[Chorus 1]
Things will work out when the time comes.
Let’s not overthink it -let’s take it easy.
A path will surely open up as long as I’m alive.
No matter what happens, I won’t give up.
[Verse 2]
I board the plane at Narita International Airport at night,
Transfer in Helsinki, Finland, with a one-hour layover,
And land at Arlanda Airport in Sweden.
The whole journey takes about thirteen hours.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
My wife drove me to the airport.
It’s not like we’re saying goodbye forever, though.
[Chorus 2]
Things will work out when the time comes.
Let’s not overthink it -let’s take it easy.
A path will surely open up as long as I’m alive.
No matter what happens, I won’t give up.
[Verse 3]
The car drove along the highway from Arlanda Airport,
And we arrived at our destination in about an hour.
It was Uppsala, Sweden’s fourth-largest city.
I stayed at the city’s most upscale hotel.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
The three of us – including my local collegues
Took a train to Stockholm for some sightseeing.
[Chorus 3]
Things will work out when the time comes.
Let’s not overthink it -let’s take it easy.
A path will surely open up as long as I’m alive.
No matter what happens, I won’t give up.
[Bridge]
The project leader headed home from there the next day.
As he left, he said, “Just say ‘I’ll be back’ like Arnold Schwarzenegger and people will understand you”
[Final Chorus]
Things will work out when the time comes.
Let’s not overthink it -let’s take it easy.
A path will surely open up as long as I’m alive.
No matter what happens, I won’t give up.
[Outro]
