lyrics

He came through the flames
With a look of grim determination
Asked my daughter's name
Then covered up her head
Was then he saw our James
Crying out in desperation
But he turned and walked away
And left us there for dead

He came through the flames
This time looking ten years older
He reached down for our James
His hands burned to the bone
As a bomb shook where I lay
He threw my son across his shoulder
Turned and walked away
And left me all alone

He came through the flames
His face now burned and blistered
Though he tried to hide the pain
Cos he wouldn't let me see
I never knew his name
Or what became of him
But he came through the flames
He came back for me
