A Fireman's Light
A Fireman's light
There called to duty , knowing the hardships toll
When the flames rise and flickering high , out of control
Strength courage, as the brother and sisterhood fireman brigade
Rolls out the shiny red engines along Gods highway
Each is hailed as they go about the towns, turning lights
Side by side they fight the flames all through each tough day and flicking night
They pull families on there back as they crawl in back drafts, near to walls
Thoughts only rendering to save the lives of all they can, without having one fall
They don't blink a lash,as they band together pulling one at time
To there clinging backs passing them to each other on the ladders, and nets , sublime
Knowing as they catch the families to there safety they give there all
As they return to await another fireman's call
