New York's Damn Bravest Lyrics
Ti Tra Li Productions ©2001

available at http://cdbaby.com/cd/devale

Well me granda come over the great ocean blue
In search of the freedom that he never knew
But the doors that were open
to his kind they were few
So he danced 'round with death
On the City's fire crew
Now me Da' he wa born here a "Narrowback" was he
And he said as a man "like my father I'll be"
I'll work with the ladders the trucks and the hose
To bravely face dangers that only a fireman knows

And its up the long ladder and into the flame
To seek neither fortune nor glory nor fame
they call us "the bravest" a name proven true
Sons of old Ireland here serving in blue

We were raised just beyond
the great skyscrapers' reach
My brothers and I down in Rockaway Beach
Through the warm Summer sun
And the pub's winter glow
There was more love and music
Than most folks ever know
For our roots they were strong
And we knew that one day
We'd grow up to march the St. Patrick's Parade
Alongside our heroes the big men in blue
Our father smiled proudly
As we strolled 5th Avenue

We went up the long ladder and into the flame
To seek neither fortune nor glory nor fame
They call us the bravest a name proven true
Sons of Old Ireland here serving in blue

Well we got that damn call it came over the wire
A plane it had hit and the Towers had caught fire
So we moved into action to save one and all
Our sworn obligation to answer the call
Well we moved through the stairways
The smoke and the smell
Through the heat and the flames
Twas a sight out of Hell
There were old ones and young ones
Burned down to the bone
But we just couldn't leave them
Up there on their own

So we called down to base from way up on 4-0
A code had gone out there were minutes to go
Til the whole bloody building would come open wide
We were able to run but remained by their side
And worked with the weak and we made up some lies
To pacify nerves as we prayed deep inside
And the Acts of Contrition we said for our lives
As we asked him to watch
O'er our children and wives

And Its up the Long ladder and into the flame
We seek neither fortune nor glory nor fame
They call us "the Bravest" a name proven true
Sons of Old Ireland here serving in blue

Now we lost countless brothers
In that Godawful sight
But they worked on like heroes
The black, brown and white
For this job is for all men
Their lives sworn to give
To sacrifice all so that others might live

And its up the long ladder and into the flame to Seek neither fortune nor glory nor fame
They call us "the Bravest"
Our name proven true SONS OF ALL NATIONS
Here serving in blue

Now St.Peter came out and he opened his gate
in peace now forever our children to wait
For they'll grow into men
Faithful brave strong and true
They'll be SONS OF ALL NATIONS
Here serving in blue

May God Bless and watch over these brave folks the families of the men and women serving as Firefighters throughout the world- Brian De Vale
