Tsunami – harbour wave
Crashing on the shore
Unsuspecting people
Swept away
Beautiful world
Beautiful sea
Basking in the sun
Holiday at Christmas time
Boxing Day
Twin Towers standing boldly
New York Manhattan sky
Airplanes make them targets
Playing darts so high
Fire and burning metal
Ash and cinders fall
Human life obliterated
Goodbye final phone call
Lifeboats at the ready
Lifeboat station crew
Pagers ring alarm
Sailors run
Saving lives at sea
Endangering their own
Great vocation
Britain’s very own
Ambulance
Is the patient breathing?
Powerful TV
Medics on the go
Out in all the weather
Covid-pressured life
Salute you all
You’re there – it’s good to know
