[Verse 1]
Sunrise finds you
Boots by the door
Coffee gone cold
Radio report
Another bad wreck
On the edge of town
You kiss your kids
Then you’re highway bound
[Chorus]
God bless our first responders
EMS, fire, and police
You run straight into the trouble
So the rest of us can breathe in peace
Every siren’s like a prayer
For the lives you’re diving in to save
God bless our first responders
And the courage that you gave
[Verse 2]
You’ve seen that house
Burn to the frame
Called out the names
Through the smoke and the flame
You’ve held a stranger
Bleeding your hands
Heard “please don’t leave”
Till the ambulance ran
[Chorus]
God bless our first responders
EMS, fire, and police
You run straight into the trouble
So the rest of us can breathe in peace
Every siren’s like a prayer
For the lives you’re diving in to save
God bless our first responders
And the courage that you gave
[Bridge]
When the world starts falling apart
You’re the ones who answer first
Carrying all that weight in your heart
So ours don’t have to hurt (yeah)
[Chorus]
God bless our first responders
EMS, fire, and police
You run straight into the trouble
So the rest of us can breathe in peace
Every siren’s like a prayer
For the lives you’re diving in to save
God bless our first responders
Every night and every day
