I am the one who answers your call
I am the one who sends help when you fall
I am the one at the end of the line
Do you know who I am? I am 999
I am the one to give help and advice
I am the one being calm and concise
I am the one that will hear the worst things
Dreading what’s next when the red phone rings
I am the one teaching you CPR
When your loved one collapses or is hit by a car
I am the one who remembers your screams
Those screams come to visit me during my dreams
I am the one receiving abuse
I am the one talking you down from a noose
I am the one at the end of the line
Do you know who I am? I am 999
