Panic Button Prayer

[Verse 1]
Coffee on the desk
Rain on the window glass
He taps that worn-out badge
Says, "Lord, just get me past"
Radio on his hip
Static and quiet hum
Then that code comes through
His whole body goes numb
[Chorus]
Panic button prayer, somebody hit it
Heaven, can you hear in this minute?
Blue lights flying down that midnight road
(we’re coming, we’re coming)
Sirens singing like a Sunday choir
Hearts beat hard like a gospel choir
When the office’s down and he can’t get up
We say a panic button prayer, and we don’t give up
[Verse 2]
Dispatcher wipes her eyes
Hands shaking on that mic
"I got you, hold on tight
Help is burning through the night"
Paramedic says a psalm
Under his breath and mask
Officer grips his cross
"God, just let this bleeding pass"
[Chorus]
Panic button prayer, somebody hit it
Heaven, can you hear in this minute?
Blue lights flying down that midnight road
(hold on, hold on)
Sirens singing like a Sunday choir
Hearts beat hard like a gospel choir
When the office’s down and he can’t get up
We say a panic button prayer, and we don’t give up
[Bridge]
[Female vocal call]
When the fear runs cold
When the night feels long
Can you hear me, Lord?
[Male vocal answer]
Every code, every cry
Every "don’t let me die"
You been right here all along
[Both]
So we’ll roll, we’ll run
Till the dark turns dawn
’Cause love keeps pushing on (pushing on)
[Chorus]
Panic button prayer, somebody hit it
Heaven, can you hear in this minute?
Blue lights flying down that midnight road
(we’re coming, we’re coming)
Sirens singing like a Sunday choir
Hearts beat hard like a gospel choir
When the office’s down and he can’t get up
We say a panic button prayer, and we don’t give up
We say a panic button prayer, and we don’t give up
