Lyrics

Along the Scioto, the morning trucks roll

Past brick walls holdin' a century's soul

Steel in the window, steam in the air

A town learns the weight of a promise kept there

Measure twice, make it right

Keep the red light out of sight

Ohio,

factory of care

Hands make the future from the parts laid bare

Ohio,

from the river to the square

We mend what matters

We keep people there

and the last blue quiet a monitor fails a pump

loses rhythm, a warning light pales.

Biomedical technicians open the case with confidence and

patience. They give it a place.

Trace every fault, test every lie.

Turn a heart, baby, into work in time.

Ohio,

factory of care. Hands make a future

from the parts laid bare

Ohio,

from the river to the square

We mend what matters, we keep people there

We keep people there

Not every hero wears a polished name

Some carry schematics, some shoulder the blame

A solid connection,

a calibrated sound Dependable service when the clock

runs down Ohio,

factory of care From river towns rising,

there's courage everywhere Ohio,

let the working heart declare

We turn broken equipment into trust we can't share

Ohio, factory of care

Practical minds building hope from repair

Ohio,

from the river to the square

Yeah, we mend what matters

We keep people there

Keep the lights on

Keep the promise true

Ohio Ohio keeps building

What carries us through
