The Heart of EMS
Author Unknown
Sorry if we woke you
in the middle of the night,
But someone in your neighborhood
is fighting for his life.
Sorry if we block the road
and make you turn around,
But there's been a bad wreck
with dying children on the ground.
When you see us coming
I hope you'll understand,
Let us have the right of way
someone needs our helping hand.
Sometimes a heart stops beating
And when we get there it's too late.
So if you see us crying
when we think we are 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 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.
