• The bell clangs, out of our bunks we roll
    Sliding down the bright brass pole
    On the truck donning gear
    Chanting our claim, no fear, no fear!

    To the call we rush in the night
    Pull to the curb oh what a sight
    Flames, embers, people's screams
    One look now at many shattered dreams

    Into the fire we rush to save life
    Dragging our line, axe, and pike
    Up the steep stairs and through the hot door
    I step too quick and go through the floor

    Into the room below all aglow
    The fires intense my screams so immense
    The heat is unyielding but then I can see
    My body from above and what I am shielding

    It is God's will I went through that door
    And part of his plan I fell through that floor
    For my purpose is seen through my own tears
    I have given my life for one of two years

    Don't be angry I have lived my life true
    To the child I have saved I'm glad you will too
    I was a fireman and proud to be one
    I know your life's fate you'll be on truck soon

    I know this is true for God has shown me
    One life for another as it will be
    As I watch from above my tears turn to joy
    I have given my life for a small boy sad
