In the Line of Duty Someone 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 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 battlefield too, Just as if he had gone off to war. Though the flag of our nation wont 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 locked doors, A cop put his life on the line. Now his ghost walks a beat on the dark city street And he stands at each rookies side. He answered the call, of himself gave his all And a part of America died. —Unknown—
