Lyric

PUKA PUKA…

PUKA PUKA…

Doctor on his rounds, checking his phone

Rubbing sleepy eyes, black coffee alone

Bitterness kicks the morning awake

Chasing down notes on every chart I make

“Go right,” they say — I drift to the left

“Who am I for?” I question my steps

Nurse call ringing through the night air

A hidden sigh behind a smile I wear

A gentle touch says more than words

A floating heart no one ever heard

Deeper than wounds, the unseen strain

Still I carry someone’s tomorrow again

In between the care, I look up high

Through the window, endless sky

Just breathing in is all I need

To feel a little more released

PUKA PUKA like a jellyfish

Floating free, no sinking in

In a world so white and tight

This moment brings me back to life

And gives me strength for one more day

PUKA PUKA like a jellyfish

Swaying soft within the drift

Even these hands that hold a life

Feel the strength come back inside

Resting just to carry on

It’s okay to drift like this sometimes

Nurse station lights in quiet lines

In between these heavy days

One deep breath can ease the weight

PUKA PUKA, this is me

Holding someone’s anxiety

Connecting lives from day to day

Holding all the pain I face

Still I float in quiet grace

PUKA PUKA…PUKA PUKA…

PUKA PUKA…
