(IN A WORLD OF PAIN)

As the day turns to evening,
and the shadows lie deep,
There’s a soul walking softly,
where the wounded still weep.
With a voice whispering gently
like a faint summer rain,
She’s a beacon of hope,
in a world barely sane.
She moves through the streets,
with her eyes so kind,
In a world of deep hurt,
still she’s not hard to find.
With each step she is mending
what’s been torn apart,
With nothing but love,
that pours from her heart.
CHORUS:
SHE'S A HEALING TOUCH
IN A WORLD OF PAIN,
Turning tears into laughter,
like sunshine after rain.
In the darkest night,
she’s the brightest star,
She’s a healing touch,
showing us who we are.
They say she’s seen sorrow,
known loss of her own,
Yet she stands like a lighthouse,
a guide back home.
To the lost, the forgotten,
she’s an open door,
A testament to love,
love worth fighting for.
In a world that is breaking,
under skies so gray,
She’s the hand that is reaching,
taking pain away.
With a heart so vast,
and a spirit so free,
She’s the change that we seek,
the change we need.
CHORUS:
SHE'S A HEALING TOUCH
IN A WORLD OF PAIN,
Turning tears into laughter,
like sunshine after rain.
In the darkest night,
she’s the brightest star,
She’s a healing touch,
showing us who we are.
So here’s to the healers,
in the light and the dark,
To the compassionate souls,
leaving their mark.
May we learn, may we grow,
in the love they impart,
They're a healing touch,
each a work of art.
CHORUS:
SHE'S A HEALING TOUCH
IN A WORLD OF PAIN,
Turning tears into laughter,
like sunshine after rain.
In the darkest night,
she’s the brightest star,
She’s a healing touch,
showing us who we are.

I'd love to see your upbeat, positive, and so generously supportive song become a kind of anthem for nurses. Perhaps there's a national nurses association you could send it to?
Had to laugh over your comment about falling in love with nurses. That's how I was as a kid - had to be "in love" with somebody in every movie or TV show or baseball game I went to. Lol!
This one is outstanding!
