Heroes

See the sky painted a crimson red,
They're the ones who face what others dread

They suit up and fight for things that aren't theirs,
True people with hearts that sincerely care

Fighting the flames with water and prayers,
Hoping to make it back to their loved ones who care

They fight flames and protect what they can,
Working from dawn til dusk again and again

With their only wish being to make it home safe and ease their loved ones fears,
This can only happen once the flames cease and the smoke has cleared
