A firefighter's life is one big surprise,
usually he laughs,
sometimes he cries.
There's always stress,toil, and strife,
hoping he's good enough to save just one life
His family understands when he misses dinner.
If he runs out of church,
don't think he's a sinner.
Answering a call is tops on his list,
regretting everyone he's ever missed.
He tries and tries,
but can't make us see,
the happiest men,
still work for free.
Jumping from bed,
fighting the cold,
knowing what to do without being told.
He rushes to the station,
jumps on the truck,
depending on skill,
never on luck.
Putting his life on the line for an unknown friend,
hoping and praying it won't be the end.
"The Bravest Men In The World" the title is fitting,
they all do their best,
never come close to quitting.
