The Gratitude Of The Nation
A salute to our doctors, nurses, and first responders, those carrying the burden thru this hard time we're in. These folks have jobs where any recognition they might receive for jobs well done, they'd trade for a better outcome for those they help. You my friends deserve the Gratitude of the Nation.

V1
They’re going in – while everyone else is running out.
They’re climbing up – while the building’s burning down.
They help us through the hard times – when we can’t help ourselves.
They drive the red lights and blue lights – speeding through your town.
Chorus
Healthcare workers and first responders – we salute you.
You do the hard work – to pull your patients through.
You pull together in the worst times – not expecting recognition.
We salute you now – with the gratitude of the nation.
Yes, we salute you now – with the gratitude of the nation.
V2
Pull over ma’am – pull over mister – red lights are approaching.
The light turned green but please wait - let the blue lights through.
As they speed by – every street they cross means danger.
The wait may be annoying but the next time - may just be for you.
Chorus
Bridge
Thank you to the docs and nurses – thank you EMTs.
Healthcare workers and first responders – thanks for taking care of me.
When flashing lights come into view – we shall stop to let you through.
As you return to your stations – please know this song’s for you.
V3
The virus came upon the world – suddenly without warning.
Healthcare workers and first responders – answered every call.
The long hours took their toll – but you’re still standing.
Healthcare workers and first responders – we salute you all.
