[Verse 1]
Lanyards swing on tired necks
Coffee stains on lecture texts
Laughing at the nights we never slept
ID cards in a tangled line
Scrubs and sneakers
Barely tied
But today we stand a little higher

[Chorus]
White coats in the hall
Names called
Hearts beating fast
We were just the kids who dreamed
Now we’re walking where they walked
White coats in the hall
Ink still drying on the tag
“Doctor” feels too big to say
But it’s written on the wall
White coats in the hall

[Verse 2]
Parents in the second row
Eyes already shining
Glow
They remember every late-night call
Stethoscopes like quiet crowns
Resting on our shoulders now
Can you feel the weight and wonder

[Chorus]
White coats in the hall
Names called
Hearts beating fast
We were just the kids who dreamed
Now we’re walking where they walked
White coats in the hall
Ink still drying on the tag
“Doctor” feels too big to say
But it’s written on the wall
White coats in the hall

[Bridge]
We don’t know every answer
But we’re learning how to care
Every page and every patient
Brought us here
Brought us here (oh yeah)
So raise your hands
Raise your hopes
Let the future find us all
In these bright
Bright coats

[Chorus]
White coats in the hall
Names called
Hearts beating fast
We were just the kids who dreamed
Now we’re walking where they walked
White coats in the hall
Ink still drying on the tag
Every oath we swear tonight
Let it echo through these walls
White coats in the hall
