The lone bagpipe in the distance No longer makes a sound Tears in you're eyes You're brother in the ground You hear seven bells And the "ten-seven" You know he's on his way To fight fires in heaven

Standing in line At the Pearly Gates Two others in front of him Awaiting to hear their fate When his turn comes He trembles with fear The Almighty asks him "Son, why are you here" "I died in a fire" But before he could finish God drew him near "You're a firefighter" God asks A slight squeak of "Yes sir" is the reply The Pearly Gates swing open "Come on in" says God As he tolls the bell "You belong in Heaven, You've seen enough of hell"
