A Tribute to the Fallen Firefighters of September 11, 2001
We sing for you a hero's tune,For you have left us much too soon.
You boldly gave your life away
The day the city turned to gray.
The sirens blared; the call came out;
You answered it without a doubt.
A tragedy had struck us all.
The towers fell, but you stood tall.
You vaulted over flights of stairs
To answer many strangers' prayers;
They live today because you went,
Allowing your life to be spent.
Your country and the world admire
How you leapt to fight the fire.
Yet a bigger blaze did start
Within each American heart.
As years go by, we don't forget,
And we owe you a giant debt.
Your courage, valor, strength and might
Will ever live in endless light.
- We sing for you a hero's tune,
- For you have left us much too soon.
