VERSE 1 That Old alarm was sounding, And he knew he'd have to go But all he could think about, were his little girls at home He signed on to this job, To help the ones in need But every time he ran into that fire He knew he might not leave
CHORUS 1 He doesn't want any money, For the things he trained to do He helps the ones in need And he see's the whole job through He's well aware of the costs, That it takes to save a life But that doesn't matter, To the man he is inside We all need to sing, that firefighter's song
VERSE 2 When that man pulled up on scene All he heard were those kids screaming He ran right through the front door To save a few young dreams A few moments later, That house it had collapsed He'd never go back home again, To hang out with his kids
CHORUS 2 He didn't want any money, For the things he trained to do He helped the ones in need And he saw the whole job through Well aware of the costs, That it takes to save a life But that didn't matter, When the family was inside We all need to sing, that Firefighter's Song
BRIDGE I hate to be the one that brings up, All this sad and bad news But that man will never have again The things that you and I do He was taken from his kids and wife, While helping a family So please sit back, and thank the lord There's more men like him, that breath
CHORUS 3 And they don't want any money For the things they train to do They help the ones in need And they see the whole job through Well aware of the costs, That it takes to save a life But that doesn't matter, To the ones they are inside We all need to sing, Yeah we all need to sing We all need to sing, that firefighter's song And we all need to pray, cause that firefighter's gone
