We were all working as hard as we could
So we could get paid and go home
But one day a fire started
No one noticed until it was to late
This is how it all began
We all had to decide our fate
We had to either burn to death
Or jump to our death
I wasn’t ready to end my life this way
But if this was what god wanted for me
Then i had to accept it
As i headed off into my after life
I looked down at all the mourning families
Who had lost people they loved
And i sent them my faith and sympathy
That is the story of the tenth floor tragedy
