got up just an hour ago Kissed my kids and wife goodbye I grabbed my gun, put on my badge And walked on outside I drove to work with lack of sleepFrom working Overtime But working late I didn't  mind Because I'm saving lives I walked into the station The sirens going wild I walk up to my desk For my post I was assigned My partners waiting for me Today is his wife's birthday But he's working the whole night We're at our post now It's just a normal night I'm looking at a picture of my wife and kids There sound asleep at home and in their beds I can't wait til I'm home tomorrow My oldest is getting baptized I'm so proud of all of them They have their mom and I mesmerized I see across the street a child who is lost He can't find his mother and he's crying cause he's lost We search up and down the street to find his momma now We find her a few streets down looking for him in the dark night My heart feels with joy when he runs into her arms The smile on her face reminds me why I'm armed That little boy could've of been hurt, stolen, or raped But because I am a cop I could keep him safe Im talking to my partner now In the quiet of the night We're standing our post Not knowing the risk of our lives The gunman is across the street Setting up his sniper I'm looking at my family picture It wasn't too long ago my kid were still in diapers He's plotting to shoot us all because he can't think straight My partner is leaving a voicemail on his wife's phone Wishing her happy birthday He's loading the sniper now preparing to fight We're listening to the pagerIt's been a quiet night I hear a gun shot I look to my right My partner is dead beside me His phone still recording to his wife I pull my gun beside me There is no one in my site My co-workers our dropping Beside me Like bowling pins on a strike I feel the gunshot hit me I begin to loose my sight I begin to wonder What will they tell my wife Will they tell her I was Brave That I was too young to go Or will they blame it on the shooterAnd wish it wasn't so I think of my kids Sound asleep in bed Waking up to no dad No more Father's DayI begin to wonder why The shooter thought it was okay To take a life of a man Who wouldn't hurt a fly on any day Who thought of everyone as their own And not just by their race The man never knew me And all the lives I've saved Because he thought it was okayTo take my life today My eyes close as my breathe goes away I've lost to much blood to see another day
