Jim Gegner - One Step Ahead of the Flame (Demo) Lyrics

He's 10 hours into a "24"
That alarm that keeps ringin' is keepin' the score
But you'll never hear him once complain
Cause he knows, there could be a life on the line
So he takes it on one more time, and stands against the blaze
And as the heat rises, he stays in the fight
When others run and hide
There's no choice
In the chase
When just minutes can determine the fate
Cause the danger never fades
And the battle is never the same
He just keeps tryin' to stay
One step ahead of the flame
She'd been on for almost a year
When that call came in, she can still hear it clear
"Structure Fire, a mother and baby inside"
They arrived and without a second to spare
That ladder went up in the air
And she rescued them both that night
And she couldn't help it as they turned to go
But think of her daughter at home
There's no choice
In the chase
When just minutes can determine the fate
Cause the danger never fades
And the battle is never the same
She's just tryin' to stay
One step ahead of the flame
Oh, they're always ready
That engine is primed
To go where most won't tread
And when tension starts rising like smoke on the wind
Ain't no doubt, they'll turn out to face it again
There's no choice
In the chase
When just minutes can determine the fate
Cause the danger never fades
And the battle is never the same
They're just tryin' to stay
Just tryin' to stay
They're just tryin' to stay
One step ahead of the flame
One step ahead of the flame
