"THE BROWN SHIRT"

MY HERO IS A BROWN SHIRT
HE WEARS A STAR UPON HIS CHEST
A HEART GOOD AS GOLD
HIDDEN BENEATH A KEVLAR VEST

HE WORKS LONG HARD HOURS
FOR VERY LITTLE PAY
AND EACH NIGHT THAT HE LEAVES
I HIT MY KNEES AND PRAY

LORD LOOK AFTER HIM
MY DEPUTY OF THE NIGHT
GIVE HIM STRENGTH AND COURAGE
TO PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT

HELP HIM CATCH A RUNNING SUSPECT
PUT A CHILD ABUSER BEHIND BARS
KEEP A DRINKING DADDY
FROM GETTING IN HIS CAR

GIVE HIM STRENGTH TO FACE THE THINGS
THAT MOST PEOPLE NEVER SEE
THE HORRIBLE SIDE OF MANKIND
THAT RESULTS IN SUCH ATROCITIES

BRING HIM HOME TO ME LORD
HELP HIM SHED HIS BURDEN HE BEARS
MEMORIES AND FACES OF VICTIMS
THAT BECOME A LIVING NIGHTMARE

IF ONE NIGHT YOU CALL HIM HOME
MAKE SURE HE UNDERSTANDS
HE'LL ALWAYS BE WITH ME
WALING HAND IN HAND
