Firefighter (a false call)

I run in to save a life
While sitting at home are my children and wife
Waiting to see if I get out
When the building collapses they begin to shout
Leaving behind a family
I wished they wouldn't have broadcasted it on T.V.
I was called out for a job
It turned out to make my family sob
There was no one left in the house
Not even the littlest crumb of a mouse
But yet I went back in to see
If anyone was left instead the flames took me
To a place higher then all
Just because one false call
