They Don'T Really Fathom the Fuss

We clap for them
   We cheer

I really hope they hear...

Those Angels at the NHS
   Go far and beyond their call of duty
      whilst putting their own lives at risk

They work extra hours tending the sick
   For these generous souls
       full of passion not fear

We clap for them 
We cheer   
 
I really hope they hear...

for their dedication
   for their inspiration
      for what they do is a true vocation
So thankful are we they are here
   taking care throughout our Nation
For without them I would truly fear
   that few of us would still be here

God bless them all
   and keep them safe
For all that they do
   For all that they are

We must show our respect
   yet I suspect ~ they don’t really fathom the fuss        
      as they go about living their daily life
         whilst taking good care of all of us…
