Pray for our Friends Lyrics:
I remember in the Fall of ’82, I heard the sirens in the night
Fireman’s boots at the bottom of the stairs
Daddy pulls them on, runs into the night…My Mama standin’ in the doorway wonders if this is the end
There’s a crowd around my father, they’re trying just to shake his handHe says..
No need to thank us, but won’t you pray for our friends,
No need to thank us, but won’t you pray for our friends…Time has past, I have a family of my own
And I pray that God will Bless our happy home
Now they’re my boots at the bottom of the stairs
I pull them on, kiss my sleeping boy’s tassled hairMy wife standin’ in the doorway whispers…
“Baby please come home to me…”
Through the smoky haze of this man’s life
On my brothers I depend…No need to thank us, but won’t you pray for our friends,
No need to thank us, but won’t you pray for our friends…Don’t you call us Heroes, we’re just ordinary men
Through all the smoke and all the flames,
it seems to never end…No need to thank us, but won’t you pray for our friends,
No need to thank us, but won’t you pray for our friends…
Pray for our friends….(c) 2013 Tommy Fuller & Bruno Lucarelli
