Joe Tippett wrote this song for the graduating residents of Mount Sinai Department of Medicine. He and Sara performed it together on his IGTV (instagram.com).

Lyrics:
I bet your feet are tired
Your head feels heavy hanging down
Dimming lights and lonely eyes
No visitors allowed

I bet you’re holding by a thread
Should’ve broke in half by now
But it holds your weight instead
Is there a light gonna show you the way out?

Keep your head up child
Do your best and work hard
Don’t forget it only hurts for a while
Keep your head up child

The road that takes you home
Feels a thousand miles away
The same world you’ve always known
But you don’t recognize a thing

You say you can count on me
Don’t wanna let nobody down
Right now it seems too dark to see
But there’s a light gonna show you the way out

Keep your head up child
Do your best and work hard
Don’t forget it only hurts for a while
Keep your head up child
