Brother when you weep for
me Remember that it was meant to be lay me down 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
In cellars hot with
searing heat at windows where a gate you meet In closets
where young
children hide you know
I'll be at your side
The house from which I
now respond is overstaffed with heroes gone Those who
answered one
last bell Did the job and did it well
As firefighters we
understand that death's a 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.
