A Life In the Fire

Rushing in with pipe in hand Trying hard to make your stand There's fire blazing all around You don't know where you are bound One moment you are knelt down low Nozzle in hand at full flow Next thing you know, everything is ablaze You just can't help but be amazed The way you feel when time is near Makes you think of everything dear You think of how you've lived your life And wonder if you did it right In the dark you feel alone A bad feeling, down to the bone You wonder if you'll make it through To see another sky of blue You think about the ones you love And you hope that God above Is with you in this time of need To help you to perform this deed You realize that the risk is great But if your time has come, it's fate I will give my life to save others Especially for the lives of my brothers
