Salute the Red and Blue Lights

(Verse)

He wakes up way before the dawn, as the shadows fade to gray,

He gets ready to answer the call, at the break of day.

He kisses his wife goodbye, still asleep in their bed,

Says goodbye to his kids, kissing them on their heads.

He looks back one last time as he walks out the door,

Hoping that this isn’t the last time his feet walk these floors.

(Pre-chorus)

Through the thunder, rain, and scorching heat,

They’re the guardians of the quiet streets.

Bearing burdens unseen, with a brave heart,

Their courage plays a vital part.

(Chorus)

I’ll salute the red and blue lights

Cause he stands to protect you and I.

You can spit in his face or curse his name,

But he’ll always show up to save the day.

You might think he’s the devil in a uniform,

But he’ll always be there to help you weather the storm.

So even when the sun doesn’t shine so bright,

I’ll always salute the red and blue lights.

(Verse)

Halfway through his shift he gets a call,

A gunman shooting up the school house halls.

Without a second thought, he jumps into gear,

Ready to protect, ignoring all of his fear.

He rushes to the scene where the carnage has begun,

He enters the building, drawing his gun.

(Pre-chorus)

Through the thunder, rain, and scorching heat,

They’re the guardians of the quiet streets.

Bearing burdens unseen, with a brave heart,

Their courage plays a vital part.

(Chorus)

I’ll salute the red and blue lights

Cause he stands to protect you and I.

You can spit in his face or curse his name,

But he’ll always show up to save the day.

You might think he’s the devil in a uniform,

But he’ll always be there to help you weather the storm.

So even when the sun doesn’t shine so bright,

I’ll always salute the red and blue lights.

(Guitar solo)

(Verse)

He’s first in the scene and ready to make a stand,

Saving all of the kids that he can.

One by one, through the chaos he leads them out,

Carving a path, showing them the safest route.

At the end of the day, he’s a hero to them all,

The bravest man who answered the call.

(Pre-chorus)

Through the thunder, rain, and scorching heat,

They’re the guardians of the quiet streets.

Bearing burdens unseen, with a brave heart,

Their courage plays a vital part.

(Chorus)

I’ll salute the red and blue lights

Cause he stands to protect you and I.

You can spit in his face or curse his name,

But he’ll always show up to save the day.

You might think he’s the devil in a uniform,

But he’ll always be there to help you weather the storm.

So even when the sun doesn’t shine so bright,

I’ll always salute the red and blue lights.

Cause he stands to protect you and I.

You can spit in his face or curse his name,

But he’ll always show up to save the day.

You might think he’s the devil in a uniform,

But he’ll always be there to help you weather the storm.

So even when the sun doesn’t shine so bright,

I’ll always salute the red and blue lights.
