The stories behind We Keep the Pulse Alive

• We Keep the Pulse Alive and the Parts Hunt Nobody Sees — A soul anthem about the chain from the supplier's crate to the hospital bed, and the frugal instinct that chain depends on.

Lyrics

Oh, in the quiet halls

Where the monitors gleam

There's a quiet strength

In a dedicated team

From the morning light

To the midnight oil

They keep the lifeblood

Flowing through their patient toil

The technician

Turns the wrench

with a steady hand while the engineer designs for the healing land oh we keep the pulse alive

we keep the vision clear every gear and gadget powered by a heart sincere

Up from the supplier's crate to the hospital bed

With a holy purpose and a selfless tread

We lift each other up so the healing starts

Working hand in hand with our beating hearts

The educator teaches

How the science heals

While the community partner knows just how it feels

In the corridors of hope

Where the sick are laid

Every scanner and syringe

Is a promise made

No glory saw in the shadows of the machine

Just the finest care that the world has seen

Can you hear the rhythm of the healing grace?

Bringing hope and comfort to a suffering place

When the power fails and the shadows fall

We will answer the call, we will answer them all

We keep the pulse alive, we keep the vision clear

Every gear and gadget powered by a heart sincere

From the supplier's crate to the hospital bed

With a holy purpose and a selfless tread

We lift each other up

So the healing starts

Working hand in hand

With our beating hearts

Keep it running

Keep it running

Keep it whole

Keep it whole

Healing body

Healing soul

Oh, let the instrument play true

Bringing grace to me

And you, bringing grace to me

And you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
