When the call went out,
you responded,
Without a second thought.
When you got to the wreckage,
you entered to save lives,
Without a second thought.
When the building became unsteady,
you moved quickly to save many lives,
Without a second though.
When the building came down upon you,
You knew you had done your best,
Without a second thought.
