Firefighter (Duty, Honor, Courage)

From the Single: Firefighter (Duty, Honor, Courage)

Here’s to the people who put out the fires
Fall into line seem never to tire
In helmets of red, white, yellow, and black
When they go in might never come back

Falling in line when danger apprears
Giving their life year after year
With a pre-connect as a life line
Never to leave their buddy behind

Duty, Honor, Courage

We are in trouble down here
There’s blood in the dirt
Looking up at the sky
For help on this earth

Friends, neighbors, and family
Heart disease, cancer, PTSD
For firefighters they’re the big three
Burning out the lives we hold dear

Duty, Honor, Courage

Firefighter crawling through flames
Firefighter each of whom has a name
Firefighter might be your life they save
Firefighter
Firefighter above a crib
Firefighter now holding him
Firefighter when the candle dims
Firefighter
Firefighter needs somebody who
Firefighter that they can turn to
Firefighter may that someone be you
