Lyrics

Small hands turn a flashlight on Beside a room where the night feels long

Hospital lights shine soft and white A brave little heart watches through the night

There's a hero walking down the hall With a case of tools and a careful call

Checking every screen, every wire, every sign

Keeping hope alive, one repair at a time

I see the nurses breathe easier

I see the doctors trust the ear

And I whisper to the quiet room

Someday I'll be standing there too

I'm gonna chase the dream, I'm gonna learn the way

Fix what matters, help someone face the day

With courage in my hands and a purpose shining through

I'll save lives with the work I do

When the world needs someone strong and true

I'll walk the road my hero knew

From a child with a flashlight to a future breaking through

I'm gonna grow up just like my hero too

I'll study every circuit, every signal, every sound

Learn how tiny pieces keep a whole world going round

At the College of Biomedical Equipment Technology

I'll build the skills to serve with honesty

I'll carry every lesson like a promise in my chest

When a patient needs a heartbeat and a machine needs its best

I'll remember what my hero showed me long ago

Care of something you repair, then help it grow

For every worried family

For every hand that needs relief

I'll bring a steady mind and heart

And do my part

I'll do my part

I'm gonna chase the dream

I'm gonna learn the way

Fix what matters, help someone face the day

With courage in my hands

And a purpose shining through

I'll save lives with the work I do

When the world needs someone strong and true

I'll walk the road, my hero new

From a child with a flashlight to a future breaking through

I'm gonna grow up, just like my hero too

Every tool can carry mercy

Every lesson can light the way

Every careful choice can give somebody

One more breath, one more day

If I'm scared, I'll keep on learning

If it's hard, I'll see it through

Because the greatest kind of future

Is a life spent helping you

We're gonna chase the dream, we're gonna learn the way

Fix what matters, help someone face the day

With courage in our hands and a purpose shining through

We'll save lives with the work we do

When the world needs someone strong and true

I'll walk the road my hero knew

Under hospitalized with a heart brave and new

I'm gonna grow up just like my hero too

Just like my hero, steady, kind and true

One repair machine, one brighter tomorrow too

I'll follow every footstep till my dream comes into view

I'm gonna grow up just like my
