Story Behind The Song

Forever grateful to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, whose exceptional medical staff saved our parents' lives thirty years apart. This song is dedicated to their incredible life-saving work that continues year after year.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The clock struck twice
Three decades apart
Two lives on the edge
Two broken parts
A sterile room
A prayer-filled air
The hope was thin
But love was there

[Chorus]
They saved our world
They held the line
Two miracles
Two threads of time
Mayo hands
Steady and true
Thirty years apart
They pulled them through

[Verse 2]
Dad's shadow faded
Mom's light grew dim
But science and grace stood tall for them
White coats moved fast
Hearts beat slow
A place of healing
Where angels go

[Chorus]
They saved our world
They held the line
Two miracles
Two threads of time
Mayo hands
Steady and true
Thirty years apart
They pulled them through

[Bridge]
A debt we can't repay
A song we can sing
For the hands that fixed our everything
Hope isn't measured in days or years
It's in the love that drowns the tears

[Chorus]
They saved our world
They held the line
Two miracles
Two threads of time
Mayo hands
Steady and true
Thirty years apart
They pulled them through
Thirty years apart
