It was a clear, blue sky
The most perfect blue
A wonderful day to be in the city
The kids' first day back at school
But then came the fire
No one could know
Then came impossible rain
Impossible snow

"Nothing's gonna happen to you while we're here
We'll take care of you, Miss Josephine"
Battalion One to Engine Thirty-three
Battalion One to Engine Thirty-three

I went down in the dust and the sweat
And the blood looking for you
And you're damn right I'd do it all over again
To bring you home
I'm looking for my brother

It got dark and the power went out
C'mon, big man, it's time to let it out
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you, it's you and I must bide

To love and be loved
That's all that matters
It's who you love
And, baby, who loves you
You can't tell the kids what it was all like
Before the planes
How in just one day
The whole world changed

Out of the flames
Out of the dust
In God We Trust
