Song Title: First Responders

Lyrics:

First Responders
Peter Hlavin, John Moran, and Jeff Walker

Verse 1
First responders to the front of the line
Caregiving heroes who risk their lives
First to the scene providin’ hope
Easing the pain of those who suffer the most

Chorus 1
Workin’ ‘round the clock both night and day
Greeting emergencies that come their way
First responders heed the first call
First responders will catch your fall
First responders know the danger
When battlin’ disaster and invisible strangers
First responders heed the first call

Verse 2
Front line workers getting ready to go
Red lights flashing – it’s off to the show
Greeting distress with medical packs
Offering smiles that say “We’ve got your backs”

Chorus 2
Tasked to step forward fightin’ pain and disease
Days filled with miracles, they rise from their knees
First responders heed the first call
First responders will catch your fall
First responders know the danger
When battlin’ disaster and invisible strangers
First responders heed the first call
First responders will catch your fall
Will catch your fall

Bridge
Essential workers never mask their feelings
When we get attacked they react with healing
Dealing with floods of water and burning towers
They gladly save your son or daughter in their very last hour
They’re heroes on the frontline
They don’t get the credit or enough shine for the things they do
Where they go and what they’ve been through
We’re talking nurses and doctors, working with honor
The police and firemen, who risk their retirement
Just to save our way of life
Today we say “thank you” and praise you right

Chorus 3
First responders heed the first call
First responders will catch your fall
First responders know the danger
When battlin’ disaster and invisible strangers
First responders heed the first call
First responders will catch your fall
First responders know the danger
When battlin’ disaster and invisible strangers
First responders heed the first call
First responders will catch your fall
Will catch your fall
