[Verse 1]
Coffee in a paper cup
Name tag hanging
Heart lit up
Dark blue circles under my eyes
Still I’m tying one more line
Quiet shoes on loud hall floors
Smiling as I push through doors
I have cried inside these walls
Still I answer every call
[Chorus]
We are stronger than our scrubs
Stronger than the sleepless nights
Holding hands through every hurt
Till the sunrise cracks the sky
Yeah we’re tired
Yeah we bend
But we don’t break
We just mend
We are stronger than our scrubs
Stronger every time we show up again
[Verse 2]
Charting in the hallway glow
Talking soft so they don’t know
How my back aches
How I shake
How much more my heart can take
CNA with aching feet
MA racing room to room
Nurse and doctor side by side
Turning fear into a truth they can get through
[Chorus]
We are stronger than our scrubs
Stronger than the sleepless nights
Holding hands through every hurt
Till the sunrise cracks the sky
Yeah we’re tired
Yeah we bend
But we don’t break
We just mend
We are stronger than our scrubs
Stronger every time we show up again
[Bridge]
Who holds us when it’s heavy? (hey)
Who sees us when we shake?
We stitch ourselves together
Then go give what we just gave
[Chorus]
We are stronger than our scrubs
Stronger than the sleepless nights
Holding hands through every hurt
Till the sunrise cracks the sky
Yeah we’re tired
But we stand
Side by side
Hand in hand
We are stronger than our scrubs
Stronger every time we show up again (again)
