Here is a copy of the words to the song Fireman's Prayer

 

 

 

CHORUS

Lay me down beside cool waters

And lay to rest my body sore

Send the word out to my brothers

The fire is down, let it burn no more

 

Let me be ready Lord when the call comes in

When the sirens wail and the engines strain

When the smoke is thick and the air is thin

When innocent lives, in the balance hang

 

I’ve trained hard Lord, and I’ve learned well

That I’m just one part of the human chain

Though it’s been forged in the fires of hell

Still I’ve known fear Lord, and I’ve prayed for rain

 

Chorus

 

If my brother goes down Lord, let me be near

Won’t you let me have what the flames demand

Won’t you give him voice, O lord, and let me hear

And give me the reach Lord, for his outstretched hand

 

Let me be ready Lord if it comes my turn

Won’t you let me be strong, let me not complain

Won’t you let me go in and with a child return

Take me young Lord, but not in vain

 

Chorus

 

Lay me beside cool waters

And lay to rest my body sore

Send the word out to my brothers

The fire is down let it burn no more
