There is a neighbor that lives on your block
The one just down the street
And someone who lives cross town
A person you may never meet
They both have something in common
A desire to help all
And in what may be the darkest hour
They'll be there to answer the call
They know the fire's horror
With the devil a war they wage
They've seen the hell of a car wreck
People traped in a metel cage
There for the sick and injured
Giving their all to cheat death
They know the joy of giving
Of a baby and his first breath
There always at the ready
Twenty four hours a day
They spend there off hours serving
Yet ask for no take home pay
And when a comrade has fallen
And all have said farewell
They'll each return to there families
And be ready to answer the bell
So when you see the lights flashing
And hear the siren draw near
Take just one silent moment
And pray for the VOLUNTEER
