The Doctor - Sarantos

I decided to be a doctor

When I was young and dumb

To help others in need

And infuse their bodies with love

In training my smile was eager

Days were long but the years were short

Kept my white coat clean

Did my best to hold down the fort

As the doctor (female vocals)

I played the hero despite

The clots and failures

Worked all thru the night

Gifting hope and light

I honestly always tried

To do my best

‘Til the patient’s eyes

Told me they were fine

I always wanted to be a doctor!

Removing tumors hits the spot

Don’t try to hurt except when

The pain comes back and

I have to do it all again

I escort people into white

Lights and then back out

But I’m clueless on how

To prevent my own burnout

As the doctor (female vocals)

I played the hero despite

The clots and failures

Worked all thru the night

Gifting hope and light

I honestly always tried

To do my best

‘Til the patient’s eyes

Told me they were fine

I always wanted to be a doctor!

Bridge

As a doctor it’s not easy no one

Gets what it’s like

Gets what it’s like to hold a loaded gun

As the doctor (female vocals)

I played the hero despite

The clots and failures

Worked all thru the night

Gifting hope and light

I honestly always tried

To do my best

‘Til the patient’s eyes

Told me they were fine

I always wanted to be a doctor!

Not until the last case of the day is done

Do I feel the day’s sting

Being so close to death changes

Both nothing and everything

End

It turns out us doctors

Need hope too

I might be a doctor

But I survive on your love too
