I worked hard for you, mornings, days an nights.....for this job i was meant to do, a sworn police officer through and though......
I wore my shield proudly, upon my chest.....holstered my weapon, shined my boots, and secured my vest....
The hours were long, and the paychecks were small....but for the friends I have made, I wouldnt change at all........
I never changed the world, now we both know this is true.....But i never thought this would happen Lord, I am the brave one in blue.....
I lay here for the first time, the sirens sound so loud....how can this be happening Lord? I served my country proud.....
I worked hard for this, how could this be?...I wasn't supposed to go like this, he shouldn't have got the drop on me....
When you fold my flag, and had it to my wife....tell her I died heroically, I lived a good life....
I always upheld the law, acted fairly without predjudice...but as i lay here Lord promise me this...
Tell my girl, her daddy is proud, allow her to reach the top, so I can rest in peace knowing, she doesn't become a cop........
I spoke to a little boy, of the age of three, he asked alot of question of me...
The boy asked..."Why do you wear a gun?"....If only i could answer that one.......
The boy asked, " Why do you carry that stick for?" Again my answer was the same as the last one.....If i could only answer that son........
The boy then asked, "Is chasing bad guys any fun?" i answered, no but it must be done.....
The boy then tapped my badge as I knelt.....looking into his eyes, my heart began to melt.......
He said "Daddy when I get big, I want a badge like that one......
and a car with lights an sirens that go wooo wooo".....I said thats wonderful my son, but " If you only knew"
My hero is a blue shirt, he wears a badge an gun...serves his public night and day, he says the road is fun..
He risks his life for strangers, he always does his part.....A modern day crusader, he always has a heart...
Sometimes his soul is weary...midnights can be rough...with little rest he does his best, decisions too are tough........
Other days are funny, sometimes too its sad....His life's about helping out, for the likes of me an you...
My hero loves his uniform, he loves the risky life....He's proud to be a blue shirt, I'm proud to be his wife...
An Angel in the sky, must leave his place of rest.....
Gently tucking his wings, beneath his armoured vest...
For duty has called, there is much work to do...
Little did he know, this one is dressed in blue.....
Arriving on the scene, he knows just what to say....
Follow me fallen brother, I will lead the way....
Your duty has ended, Your work is now through.....
Come hang your hat beside mine, I am a cop too.....
I hold my mommys hand and tell her not to cry, daddy isn't gone, he is just up in the sky....
I am not angry because he had to go...The man that killed my daddy, he soon will know....I stand up at my daddy goes by, i salute him and give him a final goodbye....he will be with us always, in heaven above, looking down on all the policeman, and protecting them with love.....
