Sorry if we woke you in the middle of the night,
But someone in your neighborhood is fighting for their 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 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 because we love you and we care about you too.
