As the sun starts to rise over the miles of gray...
His day begins after he prays...

He and His crew have worked days on end...
Shovels an Racks and Chainsaws within...

His boots are laced up with dry socks again....
With his blacken Nomax.... stained in his skin....

They all have hope the rain will come...
But for this here day it's just the wind and the sun...

He has his orders to flank the left side....
With the wind at his back.... and no place to hide....

His job is hard thru blood and sweat...
A Hero to those...who he has met...

And from this day forth he can honestly say...
He will be there when...
The sky turns Gray...
