(Verse 1)
Sunrise paints the hospital walls, a gentle, quiet hue
Another day begins to call, for all they have to do
They walk the halls with hurried pace, a smile upon their face
A comforting and warm embrace, in this demanding place
They check the charts and monitor screens, with knowledge and with care
Observing all the in-betweens, the silent, whispered prayer
(Chorus)
'Cause nurses are mothers too, in a different kind of way
They nurture and they see you through, and brighten up your day
They soothe the fear, they ease the pain, with hands both strong and kind
Like mothers, they will rise again, the worried hearts to bind
(Verse 2)
A fevered brow, a trembling hand, a tear that starts to fall
They understand, they make a stand, and answer duty's call
They offer words of gentle grace, a story soft and low
They find a smile upon their face, to help your spirits grow
They teach and guide with patient heart, explaining every test
Playing a vital, selfless part, to put your mind at rest
(Chorus)
'Cause nurses are mothers too, in a different kind of way
They nurture and they see you through, and brighten up your day
They soothe the fear, they ease the pain, with hands both strong and kind
Like mothers, they will rise again, the worried hearts to bind
(Bridge)
They leave their own at home each day, their children's laughter sweet
To face the battles come what may, on weary, tireless feet
They hold a stranger's fragile life, as precious as their own
Navigating through the strife, so no one feels alone
(Chorus)
'Cause nurses are mothers too, in a different kind of way
They nurture and they see you through, and brighten up your day
They soothe the fear, they ease the pain, with hands both strong and kind
Like mothers, they will rise again, the worried hearts to bind
(Outro)
So thank them for the love they give, the comfort that they bring
For in the way they help us live, their hearts like mothers sing.
Yes, nurses are mothers too, a blessing through and through.
