[Verse] I walk the E.R. when the world is asleep Silent screams The wounds run deep Masks on faces Hope on my sleeve No time to mourn No time to grieve [Prechorus] I carry the weight I bear the load The lonely road The oath The code [Chorus] I'm the Night Shift Hero The shadow's light Fighting the battle Out of sight No cape No glory Just a vow I made To heal the broken To never fade [Verse 2] Isolation was my closest friend No touch No hugs Just time to mend I fought the beast you couldn’t see For the sake of all Not just for me [Prechorus] Scrubs like armor Gloves like shields A battlefield None shall yield [Chorus] I'm the Night Shift Hero The shadow's light Fighting the battle Out of sight No cape No glory Just a vow I made To heal the broken To never fade [Bridge] The clock spins backward The hours dissolve Each life I touch A new resolve They called us heroes Then left us behind But I carry the scars of saving humankind [Outro] I’m the night shift hero The silent fight Standing tall in the shadows Holding the light When the world turns away I’m the one who stays The night shift hero Through the endless haze
