My Tears Will Not Wash Away That Night I close my eyes My tears will not wash away that night I hear your voices You are somewhere, but nowhere to be found O God! Please help us We cannot leave them behind My tears will not wash away that night The world as we knew it fell upon us We were left with the greatest loss Jerry, Joe, Timmy, Tommy, Jay and Paul This was not supposed to happen Not here, not like this My heart is heavy If only my tears could wash away that night I try to forget the fire with memories of you I see your smiles and hear the laughter To no avail, the pain returns Overwhelmed, I must let go My tears will not wash away that night I open my eyes I know my life is forever changed Will my heart be restored? The need for faith and love is so much more Thank God for my fellow firefighters, family and friends A city wraps her arms around us, a country follows My tears will not wash away that night A family emerges beyond the family of firefighters The brotherhood of men and women holding hands Shared compassion, profound understanding Everyone united in the healing power of love My tears will not wash away that night Blessed are we to have known such men Their courage, selfless gift of love never to be forgotten The wisdom and strength gained will sustain us Their loving presence will always be I am honored to be a firefighter Worcester Firefighter Timothy Mulcahy
