Lyrics

Calm is a skill, steady hands, get it fixed

Read the signs, make the turn, never rush the rest

Blue glass, bright screen, numbers in a row I fall beneath the surface but we know where to go

Check the line in the chain, speak it so it's clear

One good question, cause through all the pressure here

Breathe in, slow down, let the evidence speak now

Step by step, we hold the frame

Trust the work that taught our name

Call as a skill, steady hands, get it fixed

When the room gets loud, we stay precise with it

Clear words, clean rules, every choice makes sense

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Come as a skill, steady hands, get it fixed

We don't chase the fear, we follow evidence

Guide the team, protect the care

Turn pressure into confidence

Stay calm, check twice

Stay clear, get it right

Steady hands, clear plan

We can do what we began

Stay calm, check twice

Stay clear, get it right

Steady hands, clear plan

We can do what we began

A worn out seal, a warning tone

A pattern out of place

We map the cause before we touch the case

Call the next step, share the why, let every person know

strongest fix is one the whole team understands and knows

Breathe in, slow down, let the evidence speak now

Step by step we hold the frame, trust the word that's taught our name

Calm is a skill, steady hands get it fixed

When the boom gets loud we stay precise with it

Clear words, clean moves, every choice makes sense

Calm is a skill, steady hands get it fixed

We don't chase the fear, we follow evidence

Guide the team, protect the care

Turn pressure into confidence

If the first path closes, we don't lose our way we review what we know and choose the next display no

blame in the question no shame in the pause learning keeps us ready and the patient comes first because count it

out one two three make the signal easy to see hands together voices

align careful work of focus my calm is a skill steady as

clear the signal make the plan calm

Calm is a skill, steady hands, step by step, we understand

Calm is a skill, steady hands, get it fixed

When the room gets loud, we stay precise with it

Clear words, clean moves, every choice makes sense

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Calm as a skill, steady hands, get it fixed

We don't chase the fear, we follow evidence

Guide the team, protect the care

Turn pressure into confidence

Calm as a skill, steady hands, get it fixed

From the first alert to the final check

We bring patience, proof, and care

Nothing less Calm as a skill, steady hands

Get it Calm as a skill, steady hands

Stay calm, check twice, be clear, get it right, steady hands, clear plan, we can do what we began
