"Broken Blue Line"
We didnt know you, but we feel the loss
The ultimate price, you paid the cost
Once again our blue line is broken
Words of condolence will soon be spoken
We feel the distrubance in the line
Praying its for the last time
That an Officers life is taken away
Dear God, no more, please not today
The spouse and children left to live alone
Knowing daddy will never come home
Mothers and Fathers feeling their grief
All of us questioning our own belief
No more families torn apart in pain
No more Officers should die in vain
For a public to seems too quick to forget
You did your job, without regret
Brothers and Sisters, we make a stand
To be a family hand in hand
And you, young warrior, now is your time
To take our hands, and join our Thin Blue Line
