(Verse 1)

In North Amherst town, where the streets are wide,

Olympia Oaks stood with families inside.

Saturday morn, 'round eleven twenty-three,

A spark from a porch brought a tragedy.

An e-bike battery, left out in the sun,

Ignited a fire, and the blaze had begun.

Flames climbed the walls, to the attic they tore,

Displacing six souls, leaving hearts feeling sore.

(Chorus)

Oh, E-bike Blaze, lighting up the sky,

A warning in the smoke, as the flames fly high.

From the porch to the roof, it tore through the day,

In North Amherst town, the E-bike Blaze.

(Verse 2)

Firefighters rushed, from near and afar,

Amherst, Belchertown, under smoke and a star.

Thirty strong, with courage they fought,

Battling the flames that destruction had brought.

A woman leapt from a window above,

Pets were saved with a firefighter's love.

A cat, two guinea pigs, reunited once more,

But the homes they once knew, now a smoldering lore.

(Chorus)

Oh, E-bike Blaze, lighting up the sky,

A warning in the smoke, as the flames fly high.

From the porch to the roof, it tore through the day,

In North Amherst town, the E-bike Blaze.

(Bridge)

Lithium sparks, they can burn without care,

Not charging, still dangerous, a lesson to share.

Store them right, keep them cool, far from home,

Or flames will rise where the families roam.

(Verse 3)

Way Finders stepped in, with a heart full of grace,

Finding homes, giving hope, for the ones displaced.

Red Cross brought aid, and the town lent a hand,

Community rising, together they stand.

GoFundMe and Spotfund, voices calling out,

AROMA-Therapy, love swirling about.

From ashes and loss, a new strength will grow,

In North Amherst's heart, where compassion flows.

(Chorus)

Oh, E-bike Blaze, lighting up the sky,

A warning in the smoke, as the flames fly high.

From the porch to the roof, it tore through the day,

In North Amherst town, the E-bike Blaze.

(Outro)

So heed the call, let the story be told,

Of a fire's fierce spark in the morning's cold.

In Amherst we'll rise, with our neighbors we'll stay,

Rebuilding from the ashes of the E-bike Blaze.
