Hearts on the Mend

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nurse Maria ties her green coat tight A kitten waits beneath the exam light Dr. Lee kneels down, says, “Take your time” A tiny purr turns the room to sunshine [Pre-Chorus] A rabbit gets a carrot, a beagle gets a grin The doors swing wide, and everybody’s welcome in [Chorus] At the animal hospital, hearts are on the mend Paws across the waiting room, strangers become friends From a finch with a folded wing to a pony feeling brave Every little patient gets the care they came to save [Verse 2] A turtle needs a warmer place to rest A puppy wears a bandage like a badge upon his chest The lab coat pockets fill with treats While sleepy cats curl underneath the seats [Pre-Chorus] A parrot says hello, the old hound wags along One careful check, and soon they’re heading home [Chorus] At the animal hospital, hearts are on the mend Paws across the waiting room, strangers become friends From a finch with a folded wing to a pony feeling brave Every little patient gets the care they came to save [Bridge] Gentle hands and listening ears Small victories, bigger cheers When the night is long and the road feels far Someone leaves a light on where the helpers are [Final Chorus] At the animal hospital, hearts are on the mend Paws across the waiting room, strangers become friends From a finch with a folded wing to a pony feeling brave Every little patient gets the care they came to save [Outro] Sleep well, little friends, you’re safe tonight The animal hospital keeps a welcome light
