White Coat Run

Before sunrise, I’m on the floor

Coffee in a paper cup, badge at the door

Chart by chart, I read your fear

Cold hands shaking when you get in here

I learn your name, I learn your pain

One small hope in the pouring rain

I hold the line when you can’t stand

I’m a doctor with a steady hand

Breathe in slow, look at me

We’ll find the thing you cannot see

One more test, one more sign

I’m staying here till you feel fine

I’m a doctor, I’m a doctor

Keep your heart in the dark, I’ll guide ya

I’m a doctor, I’m a doctor

Take my hand, we’re gonna make it through

Late-night calls, the wheels spin fast

Another room, another chance at last

Small white coat, big heavy load

I carry hope down every road

When the numbers start to fall

When your voice gets thin and small

I don’t fold, I don’t run

I stay with you till the work is done

Breathe in slow, look at me

We’ll find the thing you cannot see

One more test, one more sign

I’m staying here till you feel fine

I’m a doctor, I’m a doctor

Keep your heart in the dark, I’ll guide ya

I’m a doctor, I’m a doctor

Take my hand, we’re gonna make it through

I’ve seen tears on a linoleum floor

I’ve seen hope come back to the door

Every scar tells me who you are

And every day, I restart your stars

I’m a doctor, I’m a doctor

Keep your heart in the dark, I’ll guide ya

I’m a doctor, I’m a doctor

Take my hand, we’re gonna make it through

I’m a doctor, I’m a doctor

Hold on close, I’m right here beside ya

I’m a doctor, I’m a doctor

And I don’t stop till the light gets through
