Lyrics:
When a young child idolizes or emulates a role model or parent
He may sometimes take a trinket to serve in everlasting memory
Of what that human meant to the child
This trinket brings comfort and strength
It acts as the child’s armor as it learns to face the harsh
Realities of the cold, cold world
Survivors
They sing your praise and share your story
Survivors
They tell the tales of your glory
Survivors
Of selflessness and bravery
Survivors
He was a hero among many
Survivors
They sing your praise and share your story
Survivors
They tell the tales of your glory
Of selflessness and bravery
In the face this tragedy
He was a hero among many
And he wore the red bandana
Then your mom reads the word that a man they did describe
As wearing your signature style over his nose and beneath his eyes
Did not, in fact, flee the disaster or perish trying to save himself
He, instead, thought of others before his own safety and health
Make no mistake, this was no ordinary man
Survivors
They sing your praise and share your story
Survivors
They tell the tales of your glory
Survivors
Of selflessness and bravery
Survivors
He was a hero among many
Survivors
They sing your praise and share your story
Survivors
They tell the tales of your glory
Of selflessness and bravery
In the face this tragedy
He was a hero among many
And he wore the red bandana
The red bandana that covered his face
Kept the smoke from his lungs as he kept a mighty pace
Up and down those many flights with the victims on his shoulder
His sacrifice was buried beneath the rubble’s smolder
Survivors
They sing your praise and share your story
Survivors
They tell the tales of your glory
Of selflessness and bravery
In the face this tragedy
He was a hero among many
And he wore the red bandana
Survivors
