No One Walked Away
Looking,looking, for the stairs
Air is bad can't breathe in here
Fire,fire spreading everywhere
Help is coming,did you hear
Some going down,some coming up
Some will make it,some out of luck
Hurry,hurry,lets get them out
You can hear the hero's shout
Which way to go is their plight
Their radios not working right
Then an awful sound is heard
Now dead silence not a word
The beeping sounds of their alarm
That eerie sound still lingers on
Lives forever changed that day
And no one really walked away
A burning memory in their mind
Of all the friends left behind
Hush my children,dry your tears
When they died they had no fears
The cowards found no paradise
The wrath of God is concise
They are at peace and at rest
God only takes the very best
