Lyrics
Scott Allen Berner saved Joseph G., Ann K., and Mary K. Leadon from burning, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, June 21, 1984. Mary, 4, and Mrs. Leadon, 40, were passengers in a truck driven by Leadon, 33, when the truck overturned on a highway ramp and caught fire. Traveling nearby, Berner, 26, meat packer, witnessed the accident. He stopped his car and ran back to the truck, where the Leadon family was trapped in the cab by their seat belts. With flames issuing from the hood and underside of the cab, Berner kicked out the windshield and removed it. Despite increasing flames separating him from the cab's interior, Berner entered the cab through the windshield opening to remove Mary. Twice more he entered the cab for Leadon and his wife. Moments after the rescue, the truck's fuel tank ignited and engulfed the cab in flames. Berner and the Leadons were treated for minor injuries, and they recovered.

Intro: G Em D Am
G Em
It’s been a long road, had my day of stardom,
D Am
At times now, feels like all I do is say pardon.
G Em
It’s been a long road, lot of ups & downs,
D Am
Getting to the point, all I want to do is Shout. .. and then I'm...
***CHORUS***
C D G Em
Helped through Gods hands, one step at a time,
C D G
His gracious love my guiding light.
C D G Em
and when things go wrong, I jus call out his name,
C D C D
ask for his strength to see me thru the day.
Surrounded by fire I watch its hungry flames,
Licking toward the helpless, I felt a burning rage.
Saw their frightened faces, the look of death in their eyes,
my instincts took over, to cheat the death I despise...and I was...
***CHORUS***
All things happens for a reason, not our place to question,
Tho some times I wonder, if I'm part of some-one else's suggestion.
Years down a long road, with many up’s and downs,
tho' these days I mostly seem to frown..... tho I'm..
***CHORUS***
One day you feel on top of it all,
The next the worlds to big and you've gotten to small.
Feel’s like the weight, is more than I can bare
my life out of contol, spiraling towards dispair. ..and then I'm..
***CHORUS***
It’s been a long road, on which I've been travellin,
Today is another day and hope is on the horizon.
The ups ha-ve finaly toppled the downs,
Tho It’s really not surprise’n. ..because I'm...
***CHORUS***
