They stand and protect
both me and you
They are here for us
both day and night
They will not give in
They'll fight the fight
Some give alot
Some give all
It's tragic that
some have to fall
The price they paid
for our sake
does not compare
to the sacrafice they make
Without these men
what would we do
I salute
those men in blue
Dedicated to the three brave officers who were
tragicly murdered in the Tampa Bay area on May 19,
1998. We will miss you.
