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
