He remembers Cali summers…
When all he had was fun
Now there’s lightnin’ strikes in Tahoe
And his work is never done…
Throw in the Santa Ana winds
And he’s gonna need some real good men…

(Chorus)

When fire is burnin’ your home down,
Brave folks don’t pass excuses round
They choose to serve
And pray you’ll do the same…
They fight the flames
They fight…the flames
They’re called to fight the flames…

To her daughter she’s just “Mama”
To her patients she’s a saint
Now she’s workin’ day and night shifts
‘Cause her sick nurse sisters can’t.
She’s trained for all the pain she sees…
But these times test her sanity…

When COVID’s burnin’ people down,
Brave nurses don’t pass blame around
They choose to serve
And pray you’ll do the same
They fight the flames…
They fight…the flames…

(Bridge)

It’s blood and sweat and tears they give
It’s selfless sacrifice…
They fight for ev’ry precious life
No matter what the price…
And they pay a price…

(Chorus)

Somebody’s gotta… gotta… gotta… gotta…
Fight… the flames…
