A volunteer fireman'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 wife 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 each one 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 a
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.
