The Story of Ladder # 6 and Jo

Running down a stairway that I can hardly see
I can hear the heavens rumble, they’re calling me
But I feel that we don’t belong
In this place that where we’re supposed to be

Josephine we got to hurry ourselves out of here
I can here my instincts calling out loud
And I can see that you can’t go on
So, everybody gather ‘round

And down comes a world we used to know
Choking on the innocent and everybody holding on to Jo
I pray I ain’t got too much time to go
And the sky starts to show

Climbing from darkness few of us see
With hero’s fallen but they’re not gone
And every one of us goes on
Past the pain, the anger and the grief

Josephine I never thought you’d rescue me
The grace of hero’s and of God falls upon me
I get to see my children’s eyes aglow
Telling the story of Ladder # 6 and of Jo

And we rise above the ashes you know
Praying for the innocent and everybody holding on to Jo
I thank God for another day I know
And the stars start to show
