Call For An Ambulance

A cry in the night 
She’s not breathing
Such a frantic sight
Call for an ambulance so frightening 

We wait and wait doing our best
CPR ongoing we struggle on
It goes to ten then twenty, thirty minutes our quest
To save a life but it is now lost and gone

An ambulance service way under staffed struggling with care
Driving from emergency to emergency an endless song
I wonder if the politicians would think different if it was theirs
Waiting and hoping for an ambulance all along.
