Screech of the tires
A call goes out
They jump in their trucks heading to scene
Unknowing what there they'll see

First to arrive
Assess and treat
Pack them up
On to the next scene

Call comes through
Multiple injuries coming
Flip the rooms
Know your role

They start to file in
One gurney at a time
A team takes each one
Each team tries to keep lives

Door number one screams for mommy
Door number two, whispers what did I do
Door number three
Working hard to save the life

First responders and nurses and docs
Working as one
A well oiled machine
Keep it together they whisper in the shock

Life eagle called now into play
Silent journey over
Deep breath on landing
Time to save a life today

Four sets of personnel
Trying hard for one in room three
Heart comes back
Then just as quickly leaves

Stable at last
Into the eagle they place
Silent prayers go up
Please make it to the next scene

Adrenaline rush over
Some go to clean
Others fall to the floor
So much blood it seems

A whisper of a breeze
flits over each
A calming one
Breaking harder, knowing what it means

The life they tried so hard
Never made it to scene
She came back to just say
It's ok, you tried to save me...
