The Voice
From the voice that you take with you,
on each and every run
The one who never sees you
when you may reach for your gun.
*
I give you the honor,
and the respect that your job deserves.
With the hope of you believing,
I NEVER WANT YOU HURT!

I can't see the child struck down,
or see the Mother's tears,
And I can't see the blood and gore,
left from one too many beers.

But I can hear the emotion,
you try so hard to hide,
And I can hear the pain you feel,
of another child that died.

And I can hear the pain you feel,
of another child that died.

I talk to you and laugh and laugh
at your bad jokes and schemes,
I even sit and listen to your
retirement hopes and dreams.

I do not see you often,
That may be for the best,
If so I might get careless,
and lump you with the rest.

I can't stop the bullet,
I can't give you peace and make you rest,
to face another day.
I can't stop the fight before you're there,
can't wipe your sweating brow,
I can't stop the bullet,
I can't give you peace and make you rest,
to face another day.
I can't stop the fight before you're there,
can't wipe your sweating brow,

But I CAN hope and pray for you,
that you will be safe somehow.
I talk to frantic people,
try to get the facts you need,
so you will be ever prepared,
to face the horrible deed.

I send you out to fight the drunk,
I pray he has no gun,
Dear God, Please help me hear him well,
and see US through this run.
*
And when my day is over,
I pray before I sleep,
Dear God, Please keep my officers safe,
supply just what they need.
Help me always manage,
to be patient, kind and calm,
I know that there are many times,
they feel so all alone.
*
Help me do the best I can,
get them safely through the day,
and somehow let them know, Dear Lord,
YOU WILL lead our way.
*
Show them Lord, the voice they take,
everywhere they go,
wants to do the best they can,
and that I am not their foe.
Teach us Lord, that with your help,
We CAN all survive,
and do our jobs with grace and ease,
Together, with great pride.
*
May all of those who wear a uniform and who protect
us everyday, come home to the ones they
love, just like they left that day.
*
I praise everyone of us who work in the Emergency
Services field, whether they be Volunteer or Paid.
THANK YOU FOR DOING THE JOB THAT YOU DO!!!
