A Fallen Firefighter's Prayer
|
| |
Brother, when you weep for me,
remember that it was meant to be.
Lay me down and when you leave,
remember I'll be at your sleeve.
|
| |
In every dark and choking hall,
I'll be there as you slowly crawl.
On every roof in driving snow,
I'll hold your coat, and you will know.
|
| |
The house from which I now respond,
is overstaffed with heroes gone.
Men who answered one last bell,
did the job and did it well.
|
| |
As firefighters we understand,
that death's card dealt in our hand.
A card we hope we never play,
but one we hold there anyway.
|
| |
That card is something we ignore,
as we crawl across a weakened floor.
For we know that we're the only prayer,
for anyone that might be there.
|
| |
So remember as you wipe your tears,
the joy I knew throughout the years.
As I did the job I loved to do,
I pray that thought will see you through.
