It’s not just a job it’s a special calling 
To help complete strangers in situations appalling 
Who swoop in to help in our darkest hour
Whether you Survive or not within their power


Those ambulances flying at breakneck speeds
To get to you quickly for whatever your needs
Never knowing what the next job will be
It could be your family or you or me


so grateful for their skill and  dedication
We never show enough of our appreciation 
You have to be a special kind of person
a guardian angel for which I am certain


Our lives are literally in their hands
Only a paramedic could understand 
They truly are worth their weight in gold
So professional dedicated and controlled


If you hear that familiar sound or, flash of blue
Move over Safety and let them through
It could be a matter of life or death
Or Some poor souls final breath
