Answer the Call -

Late one night headin' on home

Drivin' too fast, radio on

Huggin' that curve a little to tight

Now he’s hangin' on for his life

Upside down and all alone

Hopin' he could reach his phone

80 years old watchin' TV

All of a sudden it’s hard to breathe

She tries to get up then hits the ground

Wheel of fortune spins around

Sends up a prayer, thought this is it

As she pushed the button around her neck

They’re the ones behind the scenes

Every day and night

That friendly voice you need to hear

When you’re fighting for your life

Not every angel wears their wings

But they’re always there for you and me

To them it’s just a job after all

When they answer the call

«911, what’s your emergency?

She said, «I'd like to order a pizza, please»

«But Ma’am, you reached 911»

She said, «I know, could you say how long?»

«Ma'am, is everything okay?»

«No, it’s 413 Maple Way»

«Is there someone in the room with you

That you can’t talk about?»

She said «Yes sir, pepperoni please

How long can it be now?»

«I've got an officer a mile away

Can you stay on the line?»

She said «No thanks, I’ll see you soon

I’ll turn on my porch light»

They’re the ones behind the scenes

Every day and night

That friendly voice you need to hear

When you’re fighting for your life

Not every angel wears their wings

But they’re always there for you and me

To them it’s just a job after all

When they answer the call

They’re the ones behind the scenes

Every day and night

That friendly voice you need to hear

When you’re fighting for your life

Not every angel wears their wings

But they’re always there for you and me

To them it’s just a job after all

When they answer the call
