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 you'll understand
Let us have the right-of-way someone needs a 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'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 out 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.
