(Verse 1)
Every morning the scrub sink hums,
Same old jokes before the day’s begun.
You’re in the room, I’m by your side,
No words needed, just that knowing look in your eyes.
Steel and silence, heartbeat and light,
We dance that rhythm through every fight.
(Pre-Chorus)
And when the pressure starts to rise,
One glance and we don’t have to try—
(Chorus)
’Cause Val, you weren’t born my brother,
But you’re my blood in every way that matters.
We’ve seen the world break and heal again,
Held the hands of strangers turned to friends.
In scrubs or dust, through sweat and prayer,
You and Eden and the kids are always there.
Yeah, Val, you weren’t born my brother—
But you are, my brother.
(Verse 2)
We’ve flown miles to where the roads just end,
In war-torn towns we start again.
Fix what’s broken, teach what we can,
Hold a trembling child’s hand.
Through the chaos, through the pain,
Hope still blooms beneath the strain.
(Pre-Chorus)
And every scar, every tear we’ve known,
Built a bond that’s carved in bone.
(Chorus)
’Cause Val, you weren’t born my brother,
But you’re my blood in every way that matters.
We’ve seen the world break and heal again,
Held the hands of strangers turned to friends.
In scrubs or dust, through sweat and prayer,
You and Eden and the kids are always there.
Yeah, Val, you weren’t born my brother—
But you are, my brother.
(Bridge)
Some call it work, but it’s our call,
To stand for those who have nothing at all.
And when the day is done, I thank the skies,
For that strength I see in your eyes.
(Final Chorus)
’Cause Val, you weren’t born my brother,
But you’re my blood in every way that matters.
We’ve seen the worst and still we stand,
Two nurses, one heart, one steady hand.
In every mission, every care,
You and your family made me part of theirs.
Yeah, Val, you weren’t born my brother—
But you are, my brother.
(Outro)
So here’s to the nights we never forget,
And the lives we’ve saved without regret.
Side by side, come what may—
My brother, my friend, my strength every day.
