FIREFIGHTER
SONG
Well you know dad
Its time to leave home
Make it on my own
Well son
Look at you
What you going to do?
Well sir,
I know only one drum
I wish to become a
Fire fighter like you.
Fire fighter like me.
Fire fighter I say
That will make me proud
Proud to be the father of a
True American.
N Y F D said the father to son
The proudest of all American ones
Go with our blessings
But say bye to your ma
And you can drive yourself
Down in my car
After training
I take up my station
Fire fighter I am
This is for me
And I'm for them
Its time to
get together again
What's this I hear
At 19 years old
It seems like it is time
To be bold
There is an airplane crash in
Central park
Time to put on gear
Slide down the pole
One jump
And we out of here
Sirens blasting
At full blare
Wind blowing back
My hair
As we come around the
Corner there's a sight to be seen
Our huge tower is burning
Nothing in between
Suddenly there's a deafening roar
A huge metal fireball
Falls to the floor
What's going on with
Our Pilots today
Why are they crashing like this
Words come on the radio
America's under attack
There are people to be saved
We go in
We are not scared
WE ARE AMERICAN
So in we go
To the smoke and the heat
All the way through
I hear my heart beat
M y father's words
Be proud my boy
Be proud my son
You are indeed a true
American
14 hours of hell
I survived
But many of my colleagues
Are left behind
Their helmets on the ground
Still sweat inside
And its thanks
To God that
I survived
But alas many
Of my friends have died.
"Hi there from New Zealand. In 2002 I wrote the song Fire Fighter. Its about a boy telling his dad, a FDNY Fire-fighter that he wants to become a fire-fighter doing his dad real proud. Anyway, its the fastest selling song I have with all the digital downloads in the US."
