Sorry if we woke you
In the middle of the night
But someone in your neighborhood
Is fighting for their life.
Sorry if we blocked the road
And made you turn around,
But there's been a bad wreck
With injured people on the ground.
When you see us coming,
I hope you'll understand
Let us have the right away
Someone needs a helping hand.
Sometimes a child is choking
Sometimes a broken leg
Sometimes a heart stops beating
If we don't arrive, it may be too late.
So if you see us crying
When we think we're alone
You'll know we had a bad one
And we're feeling mighty down
We don't do it for the money
You know we don't get paid
We don't do it for the glory,
But for the life that might be saved.
Somewhere deep within us,
Our souls are crying out
We're here to help our neighbors
In their hour of pain and doubt.
God gave us something special
To help us see you through
We do it cause we love you
And we care about you too!
