EMS CREED
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 child is choking
sometimes a broken leg,
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 low.
We don’t do it for the money
you know how little we get paid,
We don’t do it for the glory
but for a life that might be saved.
Somewhere deep within us
our souls are crying out,
...
