SOMEBODY KILLED A POLICEMAN TODAY
AND A PART OF AMERICA DIED.
A PIECE OF OUR COUNTRY THAT HE SWORE TO PROTECT WILL BE BURIED WITH HIM AT HIS SIDE.
THE SUSPECT WHO SHOT HIM WILL STAND UP IN COURT WITH COUNSEL DEMANDING HIS RIGHTS;
WHILE A YOUNG WIDOWED MOTHER MUST WORK FOR HER KIDS AND SPEND MANY LONG, LONELY NIGHTS.
THE BEAT THAT HE WALKED WAS A BATTALAD, TOO JUST AS IF HE HAD GONE OFF TO WAR
THOUGH THE FLAG OF OUR NATION WON'T FLY AT HALF MAST, TO HIS NAME THEY WILL ADD A GOLD STAR
SOMEBODY KILLED A POLICEMAN TODAY, MAYBE IN YOUR TOWN OR MINE.
WHILE WE SLEPT IN COMFORT BEHIND OUR LOCKED DOORS, A COP PUT HIS LIFE ON THE LINE.
NOW HIS GHOST WALKS THE BEAT ON DARK CITY STREETS.
AND HE STANDS AT EACH NEW ROOKIE'S SIDE.
HE ANSWERED THE CALL.... OF HIMSELF GAVE HIS ALL, AND A PART OF AMERICA DIED.
