JR-EMS

Brother when you weep for me

Remember it was meant to be

Lay me down and when you leave

Remember I'll be at your sleeve.

In summers heat or winter snow

I'll be on every call you go.

In the back, compressing, 1,2,3,

You'll save a life and think of me

In neighborhoods where bullets fly,

At fire's where young victims cry

Where cars collide and dreams are crushed

I'll be there with you in a rush.

The unit which I now ride on

Is fully staffed with medics gone.

Those who died in MVA's

And those who died in other ways.

As Paramedics we see first hand

The death that plagues our fellow man.

We try to put it out of mind

But it's impossible we all will find.

Our memories we do ignore

As we approach our patients door.

For we know we are the only prayer

For the lovely life who needs us there.

So remember as you wipe your tears

The lives to which I added years

For they're what made my life worth living
