Lyrics
Jakes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It started back in '94 with the passing of a Boston Jake
And all it took to grab my heart was the sound that the bagpipes made
So on with my life I go with experiences gained through work
But the dream to get on the job in my heart and mind always keeping me focussed
It was a tribute to a fallen brother and from across the nation
Peers showed up to show their appreciation
Boston Jakes are on duty and they're ready
At a blaze or incident, so focussed and real steady
In double zero the job came in, the dream was realized
I felt a sense of purpose, pride and complete fullfillment
But with the job comes real life danger, sacrifices that's the code spoke
The territory that goes with my decision to take the job
Boston Jakes are on duty and they're ready
At a blaze or incident, so focussed and real steady
Boston Jakes committed to the people they serve
Never hesitating to jump to action or lend a hand
