  • Unsung Heros

    The hours are hard and so is the job,
    But I'd give it all so you wont sob.
    To save your house, your life, your children,
    I'll risk it all to enter the building.
    Each day I leave my wife and child
    To respond to the number that you dialed,
    But if I go and do not live,
    Please remember all we give.
