Lyrics
In the hospital corridor, you move with steady hands
Past monitors and rolling carts, repairing what hope demands
You test each little warning light
You listen close and calm
And every room grows safer
When you bring your skill along
I watched you turn a silent scream
Into a chance to breathe
You showed me purpose isn't fame
It's what your hands can keep
I'll carry the light you leave behind
Through every wire, everyone inside
At the College of Biomedical Equipment Technology
I'll learn the craft that keeps the heartbeat free
When someone's waiting on a vital sound
I'll be the hands that help it come back around
Your legacy will lead me where I'm meant to go
I'll serve with care and let compassion show
You taught me that a broken part can change a family's day
That careful work and courage can keep fear from finding its way
A spotlight marks the hours you spend making lifelines strong
Countless grateful breaths prove where your quiet work belongs
So I'll study every circuit, every measure, every sign
And bring a patient kind of focus
To the work I make mine
I'll carry the light and leave it behind
Through every wire, every warning sign
At the College of Biomedical Equipment Technology
I'll learn the craft that keeps a heartbeat free
When someone's waiting on a vital sound
I'll be the hands that help it come back around
Your legacy will lead me where I'm meant to go
I'll serve with care and let compassion show
If the room is dark, I'll stay
If the answer takes all day
I'll remember what you taught me
Every life is worth the wait
And when a new apprentice asks
Why I chose this road to walk
I'll tell them about the hero
Who made service more than talk
I'll carry the light you leave behind
With a faithful heart and a steady mind
At the College of Biomedical Equipment Technology
I'll turn my promise into living possibility
When someone's waiting on a vital sound
I'll be the hands that help it come back around
Your legacy will rise in all I do
A life of care, made possible by you
The hands that help, the heart that stays
Can guide a life through uncertain days
I'll carry your example, strong and true
And make the world a little safer too
