in their own rights, they are our protectors and saviors
our daily road pavers.
they are the ones who our lives, we put
to protect, and it gets better yet.

they are with us every second, of every minute
of every waking day.
and for this, they don't get much pay.
they are searchers who try to make things right.
with the courage and determination
to stand up and fight.

it matters not, where they're from
their backgrounds, or religious beliefs
or even the color of their skin.
they just want to take away the pain and the sins.

they get into a profession to help others
and to protect all families
and our sisters and brothers.
they do not do it for fame and glory
this is not their desires and stories.

they do it because there is such a need
and it is a beautiful deed.
their hearts are full of compassion
and they'll run, to get in the action.

they do it for self esteem
and in their eyes, you'll see that gleem.
when a life they have saved
to live to see another day.
that in itself, is worth much more than pay.

now you may ask me, who can they be
they are the ones, who surround you and me.
they are: the police and law enforcement agencies
the firemen, the doctors, and health care providers
and the soldiers who protect the nations

they are the protectors and our saviors
of our every waking hour
and they are the ones
who have lifes powers.

we put our lives and faith in them every day
and to them, i do give praise.
