Hero's Lost Heavens Gain ( In memory of the firefighters)
My heart is full of sorrow
for all the firemen
who came together to fight a fire
and never returned home again
I pray for all the families
and to the community
who lost a hero in a blaze
to help the likes of you and me
A child has lost their daddy
a parent has lost their son
a wife has lost her husband
but their memory will live on
Now I truly understand
the greatest gift one can give
is to lay their life upon the line
so that someone else might live
So when you see a firefighter
be sure to shake their hand
and thank them for their courage
there's few braver in the land
And when you go to bed tonight
say a prayer to God above
for the local firefighter
they may save the one's you love
