Somebody killed a policeman today and a part of America died A piece of our country he swore to protect Will be buried with him at his side The suspect who shot will stand up in court, With counsel demanding his rights While a young widowed mother must work for her kids, and spend long, lonely nights The beat that he walked was a battlefield too, Just as if he'd gone to war Though the flag of out nation won't fly at half mast, To his name they will add a gold star Yep, somebody killed a policeman today, 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 a beat on a dark city street, And he stands at each new rookie's side He answered the call, of himself gave his all And a part of America died.1984 America Police Hall of Fame, North Port, FL
Through the fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did not hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
