just because i rate you and flirt with you doesn't make me a pervert



“The Last Alarmâ€ÂÂ

My father was a fireman; he drove a big red truck

And when he'd go to work each day he'd say "Mother, wish me luck"

Then dad would not come home again until sometime the next day

But the thing that bothered me the most was the things some folks would say

"A fireman's life is easy, he eats and sleeps and plays, and sometimes he won't fight a fire for many, many days"

When I first heard these words I was too young to understand

But I knew when people had trouble Dad was there to lend a hand

Then my father went to work one day and kissed us all goodbye, but little did we realize, that night we all would cry

My father lost his life that night when the floor gave way below

And I wondered why he'd risked his life for someone he did not know

But now I truly realize the greatest gift a man can give is to lay his life upon the line so that someone else might live

So as we go from day to day and pray to God above
Say a prayer for your local firefighter

They may save the ones you love
