Once I was 7 years old, my
daddy showed me the
path to be a doctor can be lonely
Once I was 7 years old
It was a long tough road,
but we thought we were tougher
Pushing each other out the way,
as premeds we would suffer
By senior year I bought a suit for interviews, my mother
Was so confused because her son had turned into a gunner
Once I was 20 years old, my
daddy told me "Don't
be a PCP like me, do derm please"
Once I was 20 years old
I always had that dream, like
my daddy before me
Be a healer, take the time to know
my patients' story
That subspecialty glory,
just always seemed to bore me
To make health primary, that passion always seemed to draw me
Soon I was 30 years old,
trapped in a system that sucked souls
Insurance, EHR, Press Ganey owned me
Soon I feel 80 years old
I only see one goal,
Health 2.0's a failure
But I know with all our voices we can make it greater
I got my team with me,
our time is now, not later
We love our patients, hate the system,
let's unbreak it major
Once I was 40 years old, our
story unfolds I was
finally shown Health 3.0 before me
Once I was 40 years old
Soon I'll be 50 years old, our
practice full grown, We've
touched thousands of lives but we're still learning
Soon I'll be 50 years old
I still marvel at this life
My wife and children awe me
So now I tell them how
I'm touched by all my patients' stories
I got my colleagues with me, we
relive that med school glory
And those we lost along the way
My brothers, I'm still sorry
Soon I'll be sixty years old, my
Daddy'd be proud of his son
Remember why we live this life: to make a better one
I made a man so happy when I saved his little son
I hope my children follow daddy into medicine
Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I
look back on the road And see a job I did,
hell no, I'll see a calling
Soon I'll be sixty years old
Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I
look back on the road and see a job I had, hell no,
I'll see a calling
Soon I'll be sixty years old
Once I was 7 years old, my
daddy showed me the
path to be a doctor can be lonely
Once I was 7 years old
