When the alarm sounds, you come to the rescue.
But battling flames is not all you do.
When life's light gets dark and hard to see,
An angel comes and sits beside me.
You may not be there physically, but audibly and visibly instead.
You know how to eliminate my stress and fears that are unsaid.
All you do is simply sing,
Or say "Now, don't you worry about anything".
In times like these, people may call on cigarettes, drugs or alcohol,
Maybe even a stress ball.
When I find comfort in the sound of your voice, the words that you speak,
It's the best medicine of them all.
You came to Pontypandy from the Newtown Academy,
So did your fellow graduate, Ellie.
Once a newbie to a team, to a crew.
Now someone our lives couldn't imagine being without, too.
Every time I hear the call,
I know that you risk it all.
But still I wait and worry and plea;
To see you come home safely, no matter the emergency.
The firefighter with the technical vocabulary.
Whose name is Arnold McKinley.
Say thanks to your local fire service today!
