Dedicated To All The Hero's from 9-11-2001 We Love You...God Bless America!!!


WE ARE NOT HEROES
Panic and confusion
For a servant of the people
There is but one conclusion
Into the maw of danger we must go
We are not heroes It's just our job
A day like any other
Until out went the call
Our charges need us! Hurry!
The ladders! The engines!
The cars with red and blue lights!
Hurry the medics with bandages and air!
Come everyone! Every single brother!
The towers of metal and glass are burning!
Our citizens are hurt and frightened!
They are trapped in there!
We are not heroes It's just our job.
Into the fire and smoke they went.
Armed with tools of the trade,
Equipment that would help. Yet best of all.
They came armed with fearlessness.
And the courage of lions.
With these weapons and a divine purpose.
They were born.
Into a man made Hell they marched
These angels of mercy.
From Heaven they were sent.
We are not heroes . It's just our job.
They fought a good battle.
Saving those that they could.
But time and fate was not with them
The floors began to shake.
The walls started to wail, Started to rattle.
We are not heroes. It's just our job.
Down the towers came.
And with them all our sisters.
All our brothers.
They were the bravest among the brave.
Lost to an act of cowardice.
Evil is to blame. We are not heroes
It's just our job.
Amid the wreckage and the ruin.
Something is found.
A fireman's helmet laid dusty and scorched.
The badge of a policeman all silver and round. Symbols of dedication and of sacrifice.
Nothing less can they do.
It's just their job.
But forever They are heroes too.
