[Verse 1]
       Gm
When a young child idolizes or emulates a role model, a parent

                 Bb
He may sometimes take a trinket to serve in everlasting memory

                                Gm
Of what that human meant to the child. This trinket brings comfort and strength.

                       Bb
It acts as the child's armor s it learns to face the hard realities of the cold, cold world
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
          Gm
Then your mom reached the word that a man they did describe as wearing your signature style

Bb
Over his nose and beneath his eyes, did not in fact flee the disaster

   Gm
Or perish trying to save himself, he instead thought of others

                   Bb
before his own safety and health. Make no mistake, this was no ordinary man
[Chorus]

    Bb               Eb          F
The red bandana that covered his face

         Bb                         Gm            Eb
Kept the smoke from his lungs as he kept a mighty pace

       Bb                               Eb             F
Up and down those many flights with the victims on his shoulder

    Bb            Eb       F                  Bb
His sacrifice was buried beneath the rubble's smolder
