Lyrics
Before the morning rounds begin
You check the pulse beneath the skin
A monitor, a pump light
You test each signal
Make it right
With careful hands And steady eyes
You catch the one and no one spies
While nurses move in doctor's pants
You keep the lifeline in their hands
When the pressure climbs, when the hours run long
You hold the line and carry on
Every quiet check, every measured sound
Keeps hope from breaking down
You are the hand behind the feeling
The faithful heart that never rests
You keep the whole house breathing
You give the patience
Your very best When the room goes still
You stand ready, ready
When the night is deep
You see it through
For every life in the balance
This community
Depends on you
You trace a fall through miles of wire
Replace a part before the fire
You read the numbers, hear the change
And bring a failing world in range
No headline, there's the work you do
But every safe machine speaks true
A steady bed, a waking child
A family waiting, reconciled
When the pressure climbs, when the hours run long
You hold the line and carry on
Every quiet check, every measured sound
Keeps hope from breaking down
You are the hands behind the healing
The faithful hearts that never rest
You keep the whole house breathing
You give the patients your very
best When the room goes still, you stand ready
When the night is deep, you see it through
For every life in the balance
This community depends on you
Who keeps the power standing?
We do with care and pride
Who guards the doors to healing?
We stand on every side
When every second matters
We answer to the call
One careful act of service
Can help protect us all
You are the hands behind the healing
The faithful hearts that never rest
You keep the whole house breathing
Hey, you give the patients
Your very best Stand and ready, stand and ready
Through every dawn and every night
Keep watching, keep watching into life
You turn devotion into life
For every nurse and every doctor
Every family pulling through
For every life in the balance
Mmm, this community
Depends on you
We depend on you
Keep watch, keep serving
To depend on you
