Written and recorded by MS1 Julius Ulugi, as a final project for the Layers of Medicine Course.

His thoughts about the song:

Inspiration for the song came from observing the theme of how physicians exist, or "stand", between competing forces. To treat disease, as in cancer or surgery, physicians administer poison and cut open the body. In essence, we strive for joy by giving pain. As future physicians, we will toe the fine line between life and death, health and sickness, and between miracles and disaster. I found it was a fascinating dichotomy. There is no other profession that will teach healing of the living by learning from the dead (cadavers). There are countless contrasts and juxtapositions, but I had about 4 minutes in the song. It was meant to be an anthem or chant, but I felt it turned out more like a lullaby.
