Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Badge on the scrub top Coffee in a paper cup Thermometer in your own mouth Still clock in, still show up Mask hides that pale face Eyes red, but your hands steady Pulse check, chart notes, lift weight Whisper, “Breathe slow, I’m ready” You got chills in your own bones But you walking those long halls IV pump on your left side Right hand holding someone’s fall You say, “I’ll rest on my day off” That day off never comes Paging you room to room Heart heavy, feet go numb [Chorus] Heroes in the hallway Name tag, worn shoes, tired eyes Even when they hurting They still asking, “You alright?” (you alright?) Nurses on the night shift Bleeding just to save a life Taking care of everybody While they fighting for their own fight [Verse 2] You cough once, hide it quick Smile big for the scared kid Tell jokes while your head spins Say, “Look what a brave heart did” You miss lunch, miss birthdays Miss texts from the ones you love Got a fever in your own veins Still wrapping someone else’s blood You chart pain, ignore yours “Room twelve first, then I’ll sit” But room twelve turns to eighteen And that break just doesn’t hit Scratches on your dry hands Grooves from the latex line Sweat salt in your tired hair Still you say, “They first, I’m fine” (I’m fine) [Chorus] Heroes in the hallway Name tag, worn shoes, tired eyes Even when they hurting They still asking, “You alright?” (you alright?) Nurses on the night shift Bleeding just to save a life Taking care of everybody While they fighting for their own fight [Bridge] Who heals the healer When the healer’s weak Who checks your pressure When you barely sleep If I ever get better I remember this scene You limping, still lifting Making broken feel clean [Chorus] Heroes in the hallway Name tag, worn shoes, tired eyes Even when they hurting They still asking, “You alright?” (you alright?) Nurses on the night shift Bleeding just to save a life Taking care of everybody While they fighting for their own fight (yeah)
