What Can Be Said
What can be said,
when there are no words at all?,
about nineteen brother firefighters
who rushed into roaring flames
in what would be their final call.
As debris fell around them
and smoke filled their chest
still they battled on
because they are some of the very best.
They run into places
where others run out,
they are some of the bravest there are,
this there is no doubt.
Yes, there are risks
and sometimes lives are lost,
but to lose nineteen brother firefighters
is such a terrible cost.
They rush into roaring flames
often on dangerous grounds
they are the best you'll ever see,
they were the bravest ever found.
What can be said
when there are no words at all,
we'll take your memory
and act of heroism with us
everytime we answer the call.
