Lyrics

Before the morning fills the lap, you check each cable

seal and tap.

You show me how a quiet scream can change what care and healing

mean. You never rush the first mistake

You teach the reason choices make

With patient hands and steady eyes

you turn my questions into guides

Now I can hear the warning tone, and trace the fall back to

its home I keep the manuals close at hand,

and learn to serve, not just command

You say the smallest detail counts,

a God -occurring measured ounce

Protect the patient, help the team

Keep every promise in the machine

Steady hands,

steady hands We carry on

Skilled minds.

Skilled minds.

Skilled minds. Until the dawn.

Compassionate hearts.

Hearts that serve when hope feels small.

We keep the tools of healing working.

So every life can hear the call.

Pass it up. Pass it on.

The wisdom grows. Stand as one.

Stand as one. Wherever care flows

From the seasoned boys to the newest ten

We build tomorrow where we stand

I watch you and make a younger tech

Feel seen, not judged when things go wrong

You share the why behind the check

And give their courage room to grow

The work is more than parts and wires

It is the trust behind the door

A team that learns, a team that listens, a community that serves

once more.

When the roof is tied and the clock runs late

When a silent monitor carries so much weight

We remember every lesson

We are links in one unbroken chain

No one stands alone here

No one learns alone

The hands that held the standard

Now help new hands find hope

Who will teach the next one?

We will teach with patience

Who will teach with patience?

Who will guide the detail?

We will guide the

We will guard with care

Who will keep the promise?

We will keep it together

For every patient, every family

We will meet them now

Steady hands, steady hands we carry on

Skilled minds, skilled minds, skilled minds

Until the dawn

Compassionate hearts

Hearts that serve when hope feels small

We keep the tools of healing working

So every life can hear the call

Pass it on Pass it on

the wisdom road Stand as one

Where the hell the care flows

The seasoned boys to the newest sin

We build tomorrow where we stand

Steady hands, skilled minds

Compassionate hearts, one guiding guide

What we learn, we give away

And make more room for healing every day
