The stories behind Pull Up A Chair

• Pull Up A Chair Is a Song for Every Path Into Biomed — This folk-pop anthem was written for a field where almost half the workforce started out doing something else entirely.

Lyrics

One lamp over a bench, blue tape around a tray

A manual open wide at the ending of the day

A meter gives a stubborn blink, a motor holds its breath

You turn the problem in your hands and listen past the rest

Then someone brings a coffee and a notebook worn with years

A student asks a careful question

An old hand leans to here

A supplier knows a hidden fix

An educator draws the plan

An engineer says try this angle

And passes you a hand

Pull up a chair

There's room for what you know

Bring the roads you've traveled

Bring the things you've learned to show

From the first small lesson

To the toughest job below

Pull up a chair, there's room for what you know

There are stories in the start -up, in the silence, in the spark

In a borrowed part that brought a patient safely through the dark

Every careful repair can become somebody's guide

Every voice that shares a little makes the whole room open wide

No matter when you start it, no matter where you train

Whether your hands are new to tools or seasoned by the strain

There is work for every question, there is wisdom to unfold

A thousand different pathways make a stronger road to hold

Pull up a chair, there's room for what you know

Bring the roads you've traveled, bring the things you've learned to show

From the first small lesson to the toughest job below

Pull up a chair, there's room for what you know

Teach me what you notice I'll tell you what I tried

We'll leave a light for someone working on the other side

A repair,

a story, a lesson passed along

Becomes a steadier hand when the night

has lasted long

Pull up a chair, there's room for what you know

Bring the roads you've traveled, bring the things you've learned to show

For the hands that keep things moving and the hearts that help them grow

Pull up a chair, there's room for what you know

Pull up a chair, there's room for what you know

Bring your story here,

there's room for what you know

Every hand can help,

every voice can grow

Pull up a chair, there's room for what you know

Pull up a chair,

there's room for what you know

you
