Distracted (feat. Holly Bowling)

Twenty-two firefighters graduate from Massachusetts Firefighting Academy's 50-day program, ready to protect communities across the state. 


(Verse 1)
From the hills of the Berkshires to the Cape's wide sand,
They came with a promise and a steady hand.
Fifty days of learning, through smoke and flame,
Now they stand together, with honor to their name.

(Chorus)
Raise your helmets high, the sirens call again,
Fifty days of fire and rain.
For every town and street, they'll face the pain,
These sons and daughters of flame.

(Verse 2)
Early in the morning, when the sky turns red,
They remember each lesson, every word that was said.
From ladders and hoses to courage untold,
They're the ones we'll turn to when the night grows cold.

(Chorus)
Raise your helmets high, the sirens call again,
Fifty days of fire and rain.
For every town and street, they'll face the pain,
These sons and daughters of flame.

(Bridge)
From Springfield's brick to Boston's bay,
They'll guard the homes where children play.
Not for fortune, not for fame,
But for duty's everlasting flame.

(Verse 3)
Now the bell is ringing, the doors swing wide,
Twenty-two hearts stand side by side.
The smoke may rise, but the light remains,
Born of fire, and bound by chains.

(Chorus)
Raise your helmets high, the sirens call again,
Fifty days of fire and rain.
For every town and street, they'll face the pain,
These sons and daughters of flame.

(Outro)
So here's to the ones who answer the call,
Who'll stand for us when the embers fall.
Massachusetts brave and true,
Tonight we sing for you.
