TO PROTECT AND SERVE

I'LL WATCH YOUR SILENT HOME AT NIGHT

AND YOUR CROWDED STREETS BY DAY

I PRAY DEAR GO HELP ME DO MY BEST

IN WHATEVER COMES MY WAY

TO WALK WITH ME INTO OTHERS LIVES 

AS I PROTECT AND SERVE

TO ALWAYS DO WHAT IS JUST FULLY RIGHT

WHILE MY FEELINGS RESERVE.

I PRAY THE HE WATCHES OVER ME

WEATHER DISPATCH GREAT OR SMALL,

TO GIVE ME STRENGTH AND COURAGE 

WHEREVER DUTY CALLS.

TO OVERSEE EACH SITUATION

WITH AUTHORITY STRONG AND SUBTLE,

TO ALWAYS BE WILLING TO RISK MY LIFE

WHENEVER THERE 'S DANGER OR TROUBLE.

AND SHOULD IT BE BY DAY OR NIGHT

UNTO THE BRAVE I FALL,

TO THOSE THAT I HAVE LOVED AND TOUCHED

I PRAY GOD BLESS THEM ALL
