My dad has an awesome job, one that he truly loves
I am so proud of him and everything that he does
He doesn't do it for the glory or for the money
It's a CAREER he loves to do no matter what they may pay

There's a price my family pays for a career he loves so DEEPLY
As daddy's gone on holidays and at bedtime too you see
He's not always at my ballgames or at my school plays
My "other family" watches me and cheers me on these days
I know my Daddy is with his "other family"
And he is sorry that he's away

Daddy tells me that he loves me and blows me kisses through the phone at night
So I can go to sleep knowing that WE ARE ALL SAFE tonight
Cause when I hear those sirens and see those flashing lights
I know that MY HERO and his crew have come to save someone tonight
Willing to pay the Ultimate Sacrifice, off the truck they come
Into the burning building as others turn and run

My dad paid the ultimate sacrifice and I miss Him HORRIBLY
But my "other family" will help me through this terrible tragedy
And they will remind me of the work that my Daddy has done
And what a TRUE HERO my father has now become!

I love you Daddy and I miss you more!
