I watched the light in her eyes as she came back
I watched her hypnotized and I held her hand

I watched her roll through the doors of the hospital
She was too young to fly through the air, too beautiful
I watched the shape of her heartbeat on a screen for months on end
Then one day, something changed, and I knew she'd walk again

I watched the light in her eyes as she came back
I watched her hypnotized and I held her hand
And I cried, Oh oh oh, oh I cried

I watched the others in the beds so close to hers
No light in their eyes, most of them never returned
I watched the families pray and continue to hope for the best
And my mentors guide me through all these spiritual tests

I watched the light in her eyes as she came back
I watched her hypnotized and I held her hand
And I cried, Oh oh oh, oh I cried

I watch you make changes that go too far
We're helping people and our job is to do no harm
I watch nurses steal moments to touch humanity
You may tell me how to do my job but please watch your tone with me

She knew I was there, I knew she could understand me
What about you, can't you see, can't you see
Ohhh ahhh
Ohhh ahhh
She knew I was there, I knew she could understand me
Oh lives are at stake, can't you see can't you see

I watched the light in her eyes as she came back
I watched her hypnotized and I held her hand
And I cried
Oh oh oh, oh I cried
Oh oh oh, oh I cried

I watched the light in her eyes as she came back
I watched her hypnotized and I held her hand
And I cried, Oh oh oh, oh I cried
