I'm a nurse on the run in Nola, worked in Sierra Leone Never ran from Ebola My career is disease but I never did flee And now, I'm thinking, "What's wrong with me?" For release, my feet pound the streets While released tears pound my cheeks And yeah, yeah, I gotta run Reuse the gown, now I'm running out of masks As I balance human lives, not just completing tasks It's harder than it sounds But I fall into their eyes When I make the rounds But what can I do when the president says "It's a hoax, a cold, a flu," yeah, I gotta run The most difficult thing is witnessing death all alone It stomps my eyes In bed at home, I tell myself "Just do your job and go down the list" But what can I do When we're burying foreheads without one last kiss How did we get here? How did we end up like this? I gotta run Well, thanks to my loved ones for keeping me fed And thanks to my partner For kissing my forehead Saying, "We've made it this far We'll make it out alive. You were born to survive" I'll reuse my PPE to get close to your loved ones Keep away from me - I gotta run Well, I should get tested but think of the cost Can my mind be healthy If I'm financially lost It seems silly to think about right now Thinking long term, past this disease Oh never mind, a patient's at the door Running out of gear, and not getting more - yeah, I gotta run If it makes it any easier for you to see Then call me a hero and then you thank me But when the dust settles, more importantly Forget all about your business degree And get in the business of helping me Save more lives and being ready Put your money where your mouth is - yeah, I gotta run Well, looking back on Mardi Gras Masquerade parties, costumes, euphoria What we know now, what we didn't know then If we could do it all over Would we do it again Well, here's to the future, and we'll call it by name But something tells me it just won't be the same - yeah, I gotta run
